Carbon 8 E92 CSL Style Trunk Lid Test Fitment Results =)...

415Banker · 12-30-2008, 10:26 PM

so here are the awaited e92 pics! e90 will follow...hopefully paul comes through tomorrow (he doesn't know yet, lol)...

so first off, i really have to say that i'm very impressed with the outcome of this test fitment. i had confidence in carbon 8 even though other cf parts from them was so so...but today, they rose to the task...

most of the time, we do typical slap on test fits and not really get into putting the brackets on...this time we did since i wanted to see the rigidity of trunk's reaction to the shock's pressure...we didn't install the trunk lock though just in case D was not gonna keep the trunk, lol..

now you're thinking? what's up with that gap? like i mentioned earlier, we didn't install the trunk lock yet...but for now, to prove to you that its identical to the OE trunk we did measurements for comparison...here's proof below...

scary thought at first huh? yeah i was scared too...but once D and I complete the install (I was waiting for him to say yes that he'll buy the trunk, lol) more pics will be posted to signify its impressive fitment =)...

just don't be too late as supplies are limited for this batch...and intro pricing is for this batch alone =)...

Asclepius · 12-31-2008, 12:54 PM

PM price shipped to Toronto, Ontario, M1L 1Y1 please. Also could I see a pic of the trunk from directly behind the car but from a lower angle plus some pics further away? The lip appears different than the Vorstainer bootlit, so I just want to compare which I like best. Thanks.

Kev · 12-31-2008, 01:03 PM

Looks pretty good~

dvpouldar26 · 12-31-2008, 01:10 PM

hows the dovetail's size in comparison to the vorsteiners trunk. Whats they height in comparison? Does it need to be recleared? Please PM price shipped to 90210. Thank you.

PM sent...as for other pics, thats all I have for now...Daryl and I will take more pics once its back from the body shop...And yes they appear very differently...C8 is more subtle while VRS is much more aggressive. you can also get the VRS bootlid from us =)!
