CSL Trunk - OEM or Karbonius

[GreekFire]

Has anyone purchased the CSL trunk from karbonius? I'm deciding between the OEM and Karbonius trunk and wanted to hear first hand experience on how the fitment is, etc. is/ how they handled not having holes for the rear license plate mount. I was told by Karbonius that they can add the holes per special request, but most customers "use double sided tape."

I have purchased the airbox from karbonius and havent had any issues in terms of quality, but just want to hear someone who has bought the trunk,

you're essentially deciding between

oe - reference grade fitment, minor weight savings
karbonius/slon/aftermarket cf - good enough fitment, significant weight savings

I wouldn’t worry about the LP holes. Even though the genuine CSL trunk has those slightly recessed from factory(at least my early production one did), people carefully drill those often on aftermarket.
My take is that unless you’re leaving the CF exposed for personal desires, Genuine BMW CSL is the way to go. If there was a design flaw on genuine and it addressed that then it would be improved upon where original was lacking. But you’re not getting a better fit and the Genuine BMW CSL will have more value and likely increase over time.
