It's from Vorsteiner. But I do not recommend buying from big V. There are quite a few things wrong with this trunk. I fixed them all now except one thing I can't fix is add material where material is lacking

Try Duke, I hear they are quite good now (they used to have fitment issues) or I hear some reps are good but its always a hit or miss with reps.

But believe me. Big V totally not worth it. This was my third replacement, and they ALL had issues, I wish it were just fitment but it was a lot more than that.

Great customer service!

Looks sick man! I thought about the CF tips as well but opted for the black chrome because I think they are more sharp and aggressive looking. Plus you're right there might be a bit too much CF and I was worried about that. You should go for the 4.0 black chrome! or regular chrome since that might be too much black in that case lol

I have the bumper already on its way and got it last week from JG. Hopefully I can get the project going this weekend!

Cyba tips and diffuser are already here

Awesome man! You got a nice setup there!

I need to get a nice diffuser. It'll happen one of these days

Dang sorry about all the issues you had with V... For how much they charge on items Fitment shouldn't be an issue!!

I was looking at this one on eBay .. It's $1000 shipped

http://www.ebay.com/itm/08-09-10-11-...6b5aaf&vxp=mtr


Don't know if I want to pull the trigger bc it has no manufacture ...



blindside 137, thanks man!! Took years to get her to look like that lol

O Hella

Looks cool. Yeah ask them what they do as far as returns. Although it may cost you some cash to return it. Mine was 17lbs I could lift it with two fingers haha.

Make sure there aren't any clear coat issues or resin issues. Otherwise you will be pissed if they are. Also ask them if light leaks through the material (I know that sounds odd) I'm speaking from experience.

1k is quite a bit of cash though.

Well if you like it that's all that really matters.

That said...haha you probably knew this was coming

Are the bumper air flow things functional? It looks like you track your car with those things and the high wing, if so why would you buy an e93? Our cars are so damn heavy!

E93MAC, the parts are very functional, they're not your off the shelf parts. The canards for one are 2 in the world and I don't track the car, built for show. I've dropped a lot of weight just removing the seats and such

@lotus99, i rub in the rear bro, i rolled my rear fenders flat and maxed out stock camber in the rear and still rub, thats just part of the game lol..i could get smaller tires and rub here and there but i think a 265 in the rear is enough of a strech on a 19x11 rim lol

The crazy thing is I'm running the stock (sport suspension) with 18's (so 255's) and 12 mm spacers. I switched out my RFT's this summer finally for PSS's, same exact size, and guess what, I rub on small dips in the road! WTF? Everyone I told is shocked.

A few have said that PSS's tend to run wider, and I also wonder if maybe being a softer tire than the RFT's (which were worn down more too I suppose) contributes to me rubbing now here and there. It's not too bad, and I can put up with it (I don't plan on rolling my fenders) as it seems to just rub on the plastic and not the fender itself, but I have a track day coming up, so I'll have to just take out the spacers for it I guess.

I had the same issue, was running 15mm spacers with oem bridestone tires, put Michelin pss's on it and they rubbed, had to go down to 12mm spacers as pss's run a little wider!

Why is the rear opening up like that? Is this some type of maintenance mode?

Odd that with my 12mm spacers they're still rubbing then... Oh well. Not worth the expense / risk to buy 10 mm's, and not for just 5 mm's either.

So I'll just take them out for my track days, as I rarely rub now unless like the other day, I've got 3 passengers. Then it got pretty bad and rubbed a lot...
