CSL Trunk suggestion

TripEEE · 03-08-2010, 12:47 PM

So I just picked up the CSL trunk lid from Blueaudi18. I am contemplating painting the trunk to match the rest of the car but I am also on the fence on leaving it carbon fiber.
What are your thoughts on this, I am open for suggestions?

Thanks guys

+1, the fade looks good or just paint the whole thing

Fade is played out. Paint the whole thing or leave the strip exposed.

Great, I was thinking the same (painting the whole thing) Hopefully I can get it done this week or next week.

Thanks for helping me make up my mind!

Oh I apologize ... hats off to Rob for telling me to check out Craig's trunk ...

Just scoped that out. It definitely looks a lot better painted!

Ha, never. I'm glad you decided to paint it, it's going to look sick!

And in case the OP can't find pics of the trunk in question, it's painted with both the strip and license plate exposed.

Ah, I guess my memory is failing me. I thought Craig had both the strip and license plate exposed, that's what I plan on doing. Feel free to steal that idea too

TripEEE · 03-08-2010, 04:33 PM

I think it looks best in my opinion just completely painted, to each their own though right.
Since I got some peoples attention, any suggestions to where to get a CDV done??

I think they look best 100% painted. I don't like the exposed stripe.
