Current CSL Trunks

I think he sources from Schmiedmann. Whenever I got a quote from him it was about $100 more than direct from them.

His Supersprint stuff comes from Turner FWIW.

To the OP, two companies that do great work and worth inquiring into would be Mile End Composites and Karbonius. Neither make a CSL trunk but worth asking the question of their future plans.

I have one of Mike’s, meaning Status Gruppe, fiberglass CSL trunk on my sled for about five+ years now. My car is outside; it experiences temperature swings from a low in the low 40s deg F at winter months to 115 deg F in the summer months. It fits tight, it does not allow water to leak into the trunk compartment, and it’s holding up good. Alright, if you put your nose against it, there is some faint uneven-ness, but standing a few feet away, it’s all good in the neighborhood. Here is a snapshot... 🙃

Link to ECS, OEM trunk with all hardware. Scroll down to the bottom and it shows the individual parts. Unfortunately no part #'s.

Reverse image search some of the pics on google and you will be able to get the part numbers

Nice to know, thanks. I sure wish ECS would list parts #'s in the package deals though.

For anyone looking to do a swap over to an OEM CSL trunk, here is the list of parts I've compiled. Not all of them are required, but I personally will be buying all of them for mine.

CSL trunk lining is not required, but I believe the stock toolkit does not bolt onto the CSL trunk. Your options if you do not buy the CSL trunk lining is to mount the stock trunk lining with a hole where the toolkit was, or drill into the back of the CSL trunk to mount the toolkit.

If you input the part description it'll pop up pretty easily in their search bar.

If anyone has it, or can make one, might be helpful for a wiring/diy install to be added to this thread as I can't seem to find the one from m3f anymore for those who are already here!

Anyone have any recommendations for convertible CSL trunks? ECS and Status Gruppe have their own but SGT has already proven to be unreliable with their products.

No feedback on that guy, would be tempting if the price was right.

Curious of this too. I like the more traditional csl handless style of the SGT version
