Vorsteiner CSL Boot Paint Scheme

stimpy · 04-08-2010, 05:11 PM

I purchased a 3D Design Carbon Fiber Diffuser (1x1) which is now on the car and I also ordered a Vorsteiner Boot (1x1) which will be here soon. I'm looking to you guys for advice on how to paint it.

Option #1
Paint the whole thing leaving the 'boot' carbon.

Option #2
Paint the whole thing leaving the 'boot' carbon and also the license plate area.

Here's my ride:

What do you guys think?

I would leave the tail carbon and paint the rest, it seems a bit much, unless your car is aggressive, to leave the license plate area unpainted.

I'm pretty sure I'm leaning towards just having the tail exposed but figured I'd ask here for some other opinions. Big pain in the butt to expose the carbon once painted so want to do it right the first time.

Thanks for your input - will welcome other input as well

just the plate box imo....

zippoE46 · 04-09-2010, 03:09 AM

here is mine.. i love Option #1 Paint the whole thing leaving the 'boot' carbon.

PlannBee · 04-09-2010, 03:49 AM

my vote is to leave the tail and the inner plate box lines exposed.
since your car is black, the CF would be very subtle.

I left the license plate area exposed, as well as the lip... then faded the top of the bootlid. I have a SG car though, so it doesn't stand out as much as the AW ones above. You can only really see the fade in bright sunlight.

Sure, you see them on the forums a lot, but tell me how many do you actually see driving around?

I would leave the lip and license plate area.

Curtis92 · 05-09-2010, 02:48 PM

+1 for the licence plate area and the "boot" area, it'll look sick with your all-black scheme

TT3 iN NyC · 05-09-2010, 05:29 PM

This is how mine is done...

stimpy · 05-09-2010, 05:47 PM

Thanks for your opinions, keep them coming! I need to make a decision in the next day or two.

I love the look of that but I don't think it's 'enough' on black. Perfect for white, gray, or even red.

JayKay335i · 05-09-2010, 06:37 PM

I'd just leave the license plate area. I think less is more.

e90carbon · 05-09-2010, 08:02 PM

Same here, license plate area only but as your car is black I would live it full carbon, just my opinion.

leave the license and boot cf.. looks like the last piece missing on your car

.. what ever happened with that guy that shipped and sold you a damaged trunk?

He hasn't responded to the last texts I sent - no surprise.

I'm waiting on Greyhound to make a decision, should be sometime in the next 60 days. If they deny the claim, I will ship the trunk back to the guy and file a claim with my credit card. They will give me most of my money back (unfortunately I had money in my Paypal account so I won't get that back) and they can deal with PayPal and the seller.

Small claims is also an option but I'd need to put a little research into it first.

Feel free to send the guy hate mail
