Hmm.. I love the shape, but not sure how I fully feel about having it not painted on a silver car. Maybe a Black car.
I think it needs that nice paint job like that 6 series posted here earlier.

My Ride: 2006 M5 with many mods....
I've been talking with Joe and Nerwyll about the CSL trunk since early December when this first appeared through Seibon. I know Joe is working on it. I'm up for being the test car!

I saw the same trunk on ebay also. Your right it is pretty sick. Do you think this would look good on a black car. I only see carbon fiber on white or red cars. What do you think?

it uses fitments from the original trunk/boot, the only prob i see is that it is so blimmin
light, at least 50% lighter the spring latch won't be able to handle the fast release,
i had to stop it from going up too fast when i released it.
the price is not bad either

I have a jet black painted Vorsteiner I have for sale if you want. $375 + shipping. I hate the damn thing. Ugly POS.
Are you serious? Cause if so I'll take it!

yes, seen it and it does look good, (fitment is not a problem )esp viewed from a distance from the rear.

Thanks for your response! Was that from VIS or SAIBON?
Do you have any pics from the plate lights and opening switch section, also where the key lock goes? Any pics from the underside? Are there holes/catches for the stock trim panel?

Or just save money and get a carbon fiber spoiler.
Actually, the trunk is around $670/650 and painting I would assume would be like 200-300. the vorsteiner spoiler is 1k without being painted. another 100 bucks to paint, that's 1100 right there for a darn spoiler.
And also, you would be unique with this kind of trunk
