Who has one of the cheap csl trunks?

deletedelete · 05-12-2010, 01:16 AM

I cant spend a grand on a trunk. I know that there is a cheap csl trunk replacement for 500 or 600 bucks somewhere. Anybody using that and can give their impressions? I searched but didnt find any detailed reviews. Thanks

+1 same here...looking for a nice quality and fitment csl trunk and spending over $1k just doesn't appeal to me...

how much would that be after paint and installation though?

Brey335i · 05-12-2010, 10:59 AM

Probably close to $1000 after paint and install

mike3000fl · 05-12-2010, 11:10 AM

if you are doing it for weight savings then carry on, if it's for the cosmetics and you are on a budget then consider an add on spoiler that gives it the same look.

I got the JL motoring CSL bootlid and pretty happy with it.

Here's some pics:

I would say fitment is pretty good for a non-oem part. I would say out of the box it's about 90% fitment and after tweeking around the hinges and rubber stoppers fitment is 98%.

Overall happy with it.

I remember hearing Vorsteiner wasn't the best fitting, so hopefully they fixed up the QA.

Other than that, for cheapies, I think the Amuse Ericsson knock offs look amazing?

****** and jbspeed used to sell a csl trunk for 500-600 but i dont think they are now. the addon looks good but i dont want it in carbon fiber. geez this was my next mod and i was so looking forward to it.

JL Motoring sells the CSL trunk in fiberglass also and it's cheaper than the carbon fiber one...hit him up with a PM...I will probably be getting one from him soon...

yeah ill probably have to go with him. but ill need to check on the fitment and see how much painting it is gonna cost.

I got mine from ConstructAUTO. Fitment is pretty decent (the gap on the passenger side could use some adjusting).

From the pics I saw, their trunk hardly kicked up higher than the OEM trunk. The curve was also relatively flat compared to these other CSL replica trunks.

That is the Carbon 8 trunk, correct? Is it more aggressive than the stock trunk with OEM spoiler? I am debating between the Carbon 8 and JLM....
