So you had bad experience with vorsteiner?? i assumed they were the best ?

So are you keeping the 335? or are you going to snag an m3?
The best would be something like AC Schnitzer or Amuse Ericsson where they use pre-impregnated resin carbon fiber to form their products. The AC-S front lip is 3500 MSRP (3100 retail) compared to the Vorsteiner front lip (1400 retail). You can tell the difference by the weight of the product. AC-S and Amuse Ericsson are truly race inspired technology with actual function on top of looks, whereas Vorsteiner is more visually appealing than anything else.

I had an ok experience with Vorsteiner. The trunk looks beautiful, but I can't seem to fit the driver side appropriately. Otherwise, it's pretty good. The weight saving is substantial compared to the stock steel trunk. However, I would expect a little more weight reduction considering that it's supposedly a real CF part (unknown manufacturing process though). I'm interested in finding out the weight of an Amuse Ericsson trunk.

The new project will be revealed next week

A rare opportunity presented itself, so I couldn't resist. The DV has been spoken for locally.

Nah, it definitely won't be Amuse, I can't afford the dry carbon parts but don't want any of the FRP parts. However, it will most likely be JDM-themed, and UNDERSTATED, not over-stated. LOL~

I'm pretty sure the local sale will go through.

I can't wait to get out of this city. I'm hoping that would happen in two months.
