OEM CSL Trunk Availability?

[Kipjames3]

I got mine from Schmiedmann. Worse part is waiting. Wait time for me was a little over 3 months. You might get lucky and buy right before they ship out a batch.

Is ECS the best place to buy currently? Or can we also get these through dealers as well?

[Kipjames3]

Still no update on shipping date on current batch. You guys who got yours a few weeks ago seem very lucky. No idea when the next batch is going out.

Still haven't received my trunk and apparently they're still estimated to be back in stock at the end of this month. Fingers crossed.

With Schmiedmann announcing that they are limiting their US orders to an $800 maximum, that takes out the cheapest option. I wonder if the dealers are gonna match the Turner/ECS pricing.

Amount has been updated to $2500 so the trunks are fine now. I just received an email from them after I asked them about my pending trunk order. They said it's okay to be processed now and will ship out when they come back in stock which on my order details is still showing end of May.

This could be a temporary situation. Tariff situation changes, prices could change. Or, these businesses will just keep prices high if customers continue buying haha

I hope the timeline on Schmiedmann is more accurate than the one given by ECS. They're saying end of August for delivery date. My Schmiedmann order says end of May.

Got mine installed, but also needs some alignment tweaking. The BUrkhart kit worked perfectly. The wiring is way cleaner than I would have gotten it to be.

Not sure if this is gonna update across different vendors, but Turner/ECS raised the price to $6k for the trunk.

That's wild. I wouldn't pay anything more than what I did for it, let alone $6k.

Schmiedmann is still showing $2,3k so they haven't changed much. $6k is crazy.

Mine is still backordered until the end of May though. Guess I wasn't part of that batch everyone was on.

Still haven't got an update on mine. Other CSL parts collecting dust in the garage.
