Need some help deciding.. Amuse vs CSL style trunk

asdflkijd · 02-13-2013, 12:37 AM

Update 10/23

Been getting a few notifications here and there from this thread and I realized I never commented on my decision. =

Tried the csl, painted with the lip exposed with the carbon fiber

Kept the amuse and left it raw cf.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Need some help deciding between the Amuse style trunk, csl style trunk and possibly the Arkym. Will be paring it with the m sport rear bumper with the regular diffuser or is/ performance diffuser.

Car is Sparkling Graphite Metallic! Here are a couple of photos of other members cars for reference.

couldnt figure out what diffuser that was... well regardless, I'm more focused on the trunk right now and if anything might end up going with the regular m sport diffuser and upgrade to cf later.

I really like how the csl is subtle and looks completely oem but like the amuse because it looks more aggressive and has a higher kick, definitely unique.

That's why Amuse would be 98. on my list, not 99.

But before I would take the Arkym, I would choose the OEM Performance lip spoiler or something like that. I really don't like the Arkym.

I agree the arkym doesn't look subtle or aggressive just looks weird imo. I need to replace my trunk so it's either going to be the csl or amuse. Or I can just get a new oem trunk and put my cf m3 spoiler on but that doesn't make much sense. Oem parts are almost as much or more than some of the reps.

No CF CSL trunk option? Stick on CSL's don't really do it for me.

Both the amuse and csl trunks will be carbon fiber. Haven't decided if I want to partially paint it or leave it fully exposed. Cf goes really well with sparkling graphite metallic IMO

Out of those, CSL style.

But I'm going to throw in a write in vote for OEM trunk + high kick Performance spoiler

CSL trunks are too curvy.. i feel they don't match the rest of the 335. spoilers are better.. m3 for subtle and performance for aggressive

Already have a cf m3 spoiler. Looking for something new and reason I'm not going the performance spoiler with the high kick is because my trunk needs to be replaced/ resprayed, I can spend a little more and get either a amuse style or csl.

135Pats · 02-13-2013, 08:12 AM

Amuse.

J-Spec Dan · 02-13-2013, 08:36 AM

CSL style. or BMW Performance spoiler

ef11 · 02-13-2013, 08:55 AM

I like CSL WAY better.

Borisimo · 02-13-2013, 09:21 AM

CSL all the way! I think it looks better on an E90 though.

Dominus · 02-13-2013, 11:44 AM

Love my CSL but they say arkym looks so much better in person and pictures done do it justice

cbad335 · 02-13-2013, 11:48 AM

CSL

Parth317 · 02-13-2013, 11:49 AM

Gor for a CSL style

BMDoublYou · 02-13-2013, 12:11 PM

CSL looks the most tasteful, the other one are too... obviously aftermarket

Shinzi · 02-13-2013, 04:57 PM

My vote.

EDIT: To clarify its the Arkym T2.
