Vorsteiner CSL paint options...Post Pics!

jeho · 01-09-2009, 09:51 AM

I just got my Vorsteiner Double Sided CF CSL trunk installed yesterday night...

I cant decide on how I should paint it...

Heres a pic of how it looks now..

1. Fully Painted
2. Fully Painted except for that 1 "strip"
3. Fully Painted except for that 1 "strip" and unpainted Licence plate area...
4. ???????????/

PLEASE POST SOME PICS to help me decide...Thanks

***I think im going with Option 3 like GameOvr's....holy sickness...

I'd expose sum CF since you got CF as well as resale of the trunk, hmmm strip or plate box??? i would do one or the other not necessarily a fan of both...

What Craig said. Show some luv for the CF - I'd vote for the strip.

I vote strip only as well; however, it would look better if you faded the paint at the ends so the CF looks like it is fading into AW. My 2 cents

I like leaving a strip of carbon at the top. We did a matte carbon finish on Jon's car:

drZ · 01-09-2009, 03:26 PM

i actually like the way D'z does his vrs trunk..let me see if i can find the link..it look classier than just the whole strip exposed..thats jus my opinion though..

drZ · 01-09-2009, 03:30 PM

here you go..

hov333 · 01-09-2009, 03:31 PM

i just got my VRS hood and trunk painted. i had the same delemma, was going back and forth between just the fin or the plate area or both...decided to do the strip on the fin with a little variation tho. i'll post pictures up in the next day or 2. pretty happy with the result.

jeho · 01-09-2009, 03:33 PM

any close up shots drZ ? thanks

hov333 · 01-09-2009, 04:23 PM

i have the same paint scheme, little painted on the edges of the fin, the rest exposed...i'll post pics tomoro

jeho · 01-09-2009, 04:27 PM

how much did u guys pay for the painting like that approx~

LACSTER · 01-09-2009, 04:45 PM

I went with option 3 and now that I saw pics of it fromt he rear I'm soooooooooooo

Can't wait until i get it installed!

awei130 · 01-09-2009, 06:36 PM

I painted mines with the cf lip & + license plate area exposed (option 3)

zippoE46 · 01-09-2009, 07:07 PM

just wana give you another option. not sure you like it or not.

chrisE92 · 01-09-2009, 07:17 PM

hmm how about doing option 3 but with a fade on the strip into AW? Either way, you should definitely keep the license plate area CF.. looks hot

Asclepius · 01-09-2009, 08:11 PM

Here's a pic of the paint I was suggesting:

Bluesummer · 01-09-2009, 08:36 PM

fully unpainted

TiAg335i · 01-09-2009, 09:12 PM

This is exactly what I would do if I had this trunk:

balance · 01-09-2009, 09:29 PM

imo it looks really sick unpainted
and if you do a black roof vinyl and tint it'll look real sick
or go with unpainted license plate area and the strip
