That looks nice!Carbon Fiber Fairies paid a visit to Charrie's garage today......
The shipping truck my bootlid arrived in
Status Gruppe Tuning guys did a great job packaging my bootlid! For the first time (this being my third bootlid shipped) I have a bootlid in perfect condition. I couldn't be happier...
Packaging of the bootlid is superb...
The inside part of my new bootlid...
The outside carbon fiber part of my bootlid...
Tips as you can see below are perfect
The back panel of my bootlid - notice how it pretty much matches the OEM CSL bootlid in that there's no trunk handle.
The one thing that separates this bootlid from the OEM CSL bootlid is that the entire back is smooth... there are no horizontal lines like the CSL bootlid has. That's because on sedan the horizontal line won't match up with the top of the tail light like they do for coupes... you can see what I'm talking about by looking at the OEM CSL bootlid installed on my M3 below...
SGT deleted that horizontal line when they made the mold for the sedan bootlid... to me it looks much cleaner and has a subtle difference between looks from sedan to coupe.
The bootlid will be left rebadged until I have it painted.... then a new set of glossy black 330i badge will be placed
Brett (Brettbimmer) will be coming up here tomorrow and will lend a hand swapping out trunk lids for this bootlid... I will then have pictures once the new bootlid has been installed and adjusted
More to come but it's now here in my hands!!!
Do you plan on having it painted such that the carbon weave is visible?

thanks San. I'm painting my bootlid and just leaving the top center lip exposed with fading on the sides. back paneling and top completely painted in Mystic Blue paint.
The inside part of my bootlid will be painted in Mystic Blue. Anyway, that's the current plan.

No, ARC-8 offsets are fine on their own. This is for OE Style 68 wheels which have the high factory offsets.
12mm spacers are accomplished by rolling the fenders.

It happened tonightThat's Brett in the foreground getting a picture of my M3
This is my 4th time swapping out bootlids. Twice on my M3, first the Scorza CSL carbon fiber bootlid and then the OEM CSL bootlid. I helped install an OEM CSL bootlid on my friend's Comp. Pkg M3 and now on blauzedso I didn't need any DIYs to do this. I did this pretty much from memory...
my OE bootlid removed
discovered I was missing this hole on my new SGT carbon fiber bootlid
I figured out where I needed to put the hole on my new carbon fiber bootlid so I used my dremel to make this happen
installed, fitment was spot on
The carbon fiber weave looks awesome
The lines of the SGT CSL bootlid matches perfectly to the lines of my ZHP as shown in the picture below
Lots more work still need to be done on my ZHP but I'm finished for the time being... Brett was a huge help and all I have left are little adjustments and items to install before it's a wrap. Then I can take a few high res pictures of my work
The fitment of this SGT CSL bootlid was excellent for an aftermarket CSL carbon fiber bootlid. YES!! I can easily recommend this product to anyone who would be interested in buying a carbon fiber CSL bootlid for their sedan!Just be aware of the long wait time as this product is made in another country and shipping times can and most likely will be delayed as in my case. I waited about 5 months from time I placed my order and paid for my product to the time I took delivery of it. Fortunately I know the owner of SGT and have always had a good experience buying from him so the delay in shipping did not bother me. I knew he would take care of things and he did
