Actually I meant in terms of the contour of the "fin." From what I could gather, it just doesn't look right or the few pictures online just don't do it justice. Also since there isn't much support from vendors for this type of trunk, there are no additional styled "csl" trunks that the E90 and E92 guys have.
The Ericsson E60 trunk seems to flow better, if price were not an issue of course.

honestly CSL looks right only on e46's
if you want a cf trunk, get the oem one like I have, it looks and fits great

I agree completely on them only looking right on E46's, and a few E90/92's. Thats why in the end its not worth the $600 + $300 paint (give or take) for a mod that might not look good. Plus selling it down the line would be EXTREMELY difficult, especially if its painted.

These look awesome on E46/E9X. A lot of people paint the trunk but leave maybe a 1-2inch thick strip on the top rear part exposed CF which I think looks really good. Takes the ricey factor out of it while leaving some nice pizzazz .
I've seen a few pictures on our E60s and it just doesn't strike the same chord. Wish it did though, then I'd be all over this like flies on poop!

Here's a pic of Menace_E60's CSL style trunk.
Seibon though not VIS (not sure if there is a visual/size diff)
Really wish I could see one of these installed up close. Some pics I like it, some I don't, either way it's unique. Really need a full profile shot to tell I think.
AFAIK the Seibon trunk doesn't have the indentation for the roundel.
