Carbon Fiber Trunk Installed w/ Rice Pictures
stock trunk: 25 lb
stock spoiler: 5 lb
cf trunk: 13 lb
fitment was perfect, install took 5 minutes. i need to remove at least 1 of the springs. i may remove them both and install hydraulics like the hood has. hood comes in sometime next week, unfortunately i can't get them painted until next year. on with the rice.

i'm contemplating putting the emblem on, but i might leave it off, and do a mugen style grill, so no emblems.
yes, ViS. last one in stock.
local place www.trtautotech.com got it for me.
i always thought this car needed a spoiler, but i'm going to leave it for now. first time ever this car has been spoilerless.

Uses turn signals in my
I'm usually not a fan of carbon fiber hoods/trunks, but I have to admit, that does look clean (your keeping the CleanCL name up). When are you expecting the spoiler?

btw - everyone else m3 spoiler looks a little short, theres always a gap on each side, i measured it out w/ a piece of string and i think 48" will go across the whole thing, i was tempted to go even longer and have a slight flap over, but i thought that might be stupid.

i still think you should have it painted lightly so the CF weave barely shows. ive seen some M3 guys do that with their CSL trunks and it looks soooo good.

CF looks clean on a black car no need to paint unless you want a total sleeper effect
