Current CSL Trunks

[sbay]

Damn I also have an order pending with Schmiedmann for a trunk placed before that notice

Shoot me a message if it ends up being cancelled, it is a paperwork issue, we can supply Euro parts still and have all the correct paperwork to ship to the US.

Okay, sounds good. Thank you. I sent them an email so we'll see what they say. I placed my order over a month ago but who knows if that means anything.

Well that's probably not good my current pending order for my CSL trunk..

Looks like a few of you guys got lucky to buy when you did!

Wow that's crazy. Glad I ordered my door seals from them when I did.

My SGT trunk fits close to OEM. Really happy with it, but it purchased during their heyday of being a reputable vendor. Nowadays I'd stick with OEM.

Is yours one of their original 2 side CF trunks? Now, they only sell 1 side CF and FRP trunks.

I see what you mean. I guess what I meant to point out was that the other trunks like SG, ECS brand don't have the same underside mold pattern like the one I have. It looks more like it was based off an factory non-csl trunk. I was hoping someone might know if another company made a csl replica with the same underside mold pattern. The only other trunk I could find so far was vorsteiner but their trunk is carbon, not frp. Thanks for your the input!

Vorsteiner did make a FRP with an exterior layer of CF and it was not as light as the full CF one. It could be something similar.

Slideways, can you clarify by what you mean standard aftermarket? This trunk is a CSL type without the license plate trim. I've tried searching for CSL style trunks with this underside type but could only find that it matches the OEM CSL, but there's no part no. I can find hear the lock.

Yes, it is a CSL style trunk, not the Euro CSL style trunklid with the handle. By standard, I mean they are mostly manufactured in the same place from the same mold and rebranded by ECS, SGT, etc.

Any reasonably priced gotos these days? Unfortunately when the OEM ones were going for 1k, I just was not in the right position.

They are all in the 2k range. Karbonius and Slon are the next best thing to OE.

Bringing this thread back. I have a csl trunk I bought a few years back and had been sitting in my storage. I've been focused on engine and suspension on my car and I finally pulled the trunk to prep it. When I bought the trunk, the guy told me is was a SG but I realized now the backside doesn't look the same.

Can anyone help identify the trunk based on the backside? It looks more like a OE csl but I'm trying to find out if another company made an frp replica based on the original trunk. I don't see any sticker or stamp that makes it an oem trunk.

thanks!

That looks like a standard aftermarket FRP trunklid. Hopefully the fitment is good as those were the cheaper alternatives to the already ok fitment CF ones they charged more for. The original BMW one has a stamp with part number above the door lock mechanism. There is a replica one that has the same stamp, but it is fairly easy to tell the difference in materials and finish between the two.
