Carbon 8 E90 CSL Style Trunk Lid Test Fitment Results =)...

415Banker · 12-31-2008, 07:43 PM

Paul came in today!!! Woohoo!!! Daryl was back too =)...Anyway, easy swap in and swap out =)...Did the same procedure like last night! Mounted with brackets but didn't do the trunk lock...fits like a charm...

Carbon 8 did it again for me =)...Impressive to say the least especially for the price range =)!!! Only draw back is a minimal gap from the trunk gate's light with the corner light, but with a respectable body shop this alignment can be corrected...

Enough with the babbling and on with the pictures =)!!!

here, i have a buddy keeping the trunk down since the shocks on the e90 were pushing the trunk up...i guess the oem e90 trunk is heavier than the oem e92 trunk thus requiring more pressure...

here's that minimal gap i was telling you guys about...

Hmmmm...Is that Paul walking by? lol! Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the pics!!!

I know it's off the topic, but doesn't those RE-01R has treadwear something like 140?

I am already surprised how fast my rear T1Rs (which has treadwear like 280) gone bold. So how long you think those will last...?

Ender514 · 01-02-2009, 04:43 PM

nice. whats the weight difference between this and the OEM trunk lid?

treadwear is rated at 140. These tires aren't ment for those that commute alot anyways. FWIW, stock runflats are rated at 160.

DAMN it is 140?
I thought 180 for some reason.
But yeah. . . I don't plan on keeping to on for long. . .
I wanted this to be the spare set for the track
