Feeler: ATLP CF CSL-Style Trunk
Hey guys,
With less and less companies making new products I've been asked by a few members (quiet persistently) to make a FULL Carbon Fiber CSL trunk replacement. To be honest, this is something I always wanted on my car just because it flows so well with the already given lines of the car, but I just never liked the look of what was out at the moment because I didn't want an add-on piece and would rather pay a little more for a replacement without having to mold anything on the trunk.
Here is a picture of it on a 335.
Here is a similar csl add on lip on a TL. BUT keep in mind, this is going to be..more aggressive. And sexier. Much sexier. This is NOT how it will look like, just to give you an idea.
Anyway, here is the breakdown. I know it's going to be a bit of a limited part, as not everyone's going to like the style, but those that do..they got their head in the right place.
It would be 100% Bolt on.
Grade A Carbon Fiber.
Would allow you to retain your stock license plate surround. (I think it's cheesy when the CF deletes the OE garnish)
It would have to be one size as far as the chrome/brushed brow above the license plate goes since the TL and TL-S are slightly different. We can decide on either but it has to stick one size.
It would be lighter.
Pricing would be around $700.
At least 20 people with a required deposit.
*This may be a limited run depending on how the batch goes.
Please only add your name to the list if your serious.

I'm most interested in how the license plate garnish will be executed.
At the moment I'm like 75/25 on this... Would need a CF hood to compliment the trunk at least.

Don't have the money at the moment, but very interested in this and depending on time frame, may be able to do this. Put me down, as I have been waiting for some time for someone to do this. And thank you for taking it on!!

CF hood is cake compared to a CSL trunk.
With the wait time of the CSL trunk I'd probably be able to source out a CF hood in that mean time...
Alright Mike. You won me over =D

Yo mike, I currently have a type S spoiler on my 06, do you know if the bolts on there will match this one. And i only use the bolts, i dont use the white and blue clips that are supplied with the type S spoiler. Hmmm i might just get in on this but i need some info first before i add my name!

I think its a complete trunk replacement and isnt just the spoiler alone, you need not worry about holes as you'll be taking your OEM trunk off and installing this one; after swapping over all the components such as license plate holder, trunk latch etc.

Therefore you don't need to take off the Type-S Spoiler... or replace that spoiler for that matter.
Basically.. Imagine KB1spec's CSL spoiler molded onto a trunk... that is [in a sense] already molded for you... and made of complete CF.
You can order the hoods off eBay.

Xclusv, thanks for the pics. They will definitely help the members who are trying to picture the trunk.
And lookin' at your pics again, I realized you have rear tail light "lower eyebrows." They actually look pretty nice. (That one thread, everyone was bashing the OP for having "brows" on his rear tails).
Also, where in Jersey are you? North, Central, South? I never see your car when i'm on the road.
