personally love the vorsteiner ones

OEM leave the ricer things to the ricers, apart from that rant the Challenge looks a bit better because it is closer to OEM.

Always been a fan of the CSL, but that Challenge trunk is starting to win me over.

how is a csl trunk ricer? It looks so clean

N0Chill 335i · 06-16-2014, 09:49 PM

Where can I find that challenge wing? Holy balls, that's sexy! I've always hated the CSL. The Challenge trunk reminds me of the Hikkatidori trunk I had on my 1st G35 coupe.

uce92i · 06-17-2014, 12:51 AM

CSL trunk style is OEM... they borrowed the lowkick style from the CSL. not sure how it's ricer. a matter of personal preference is a different story though

Taruno · 06-17-2014, 02:18 AM

For an E9* website you seem to think there is a CSL E9*

anything straying for aoem is ricey, but then again to each their own. In Europe in general modding died out especially on the premium brands like BMW, Audi and Mercs. And yeah that CSL trunk looks like something out of a previous era of BMW, the challenge fully painted looks better IMO

notnow · 06-17-2014, 03:59 AM

^LOL ... Why would you go on a car forum (mainly about mods) and call clean mods "rice"?

Putting ghetto colored stripes on the car and plastidipping everything you can, now THAT is rice.

Amuse Ericsson trunk gets my vote

2chenz · 06-18-2014, 02:59 AM

That challenge trunk is so clean.

roll_the_dice · 06-20-2014, 03:59 PM

I came into this thread thinking I was going to vote Challenge...I love that trunk, but after viewing the pictures, I voted Vorsteiner. I have a CSL trunk on my e90 with eposed CF edge and LOVE it...it's not Vorsteiner, but I love that style. Maybe because I have a similar trunk!

mashimarho · 06-20-2014, 04:25 PM

I say stick with the CSL. I love mine, and it certainly isn't ricey. Sure, it isn't OEM for the e9x models, but mine is fully functional for extra downforce. Unlike many people, I actually track my car time to time, thus using it for it's purpose. So, there's no hating on any of these aftermarket trunk lids, because they're cool and useful!

+1 for Amuse.

335m · 07-18-2014, 10:10 AM

I think the CSL and Amuse are a little too aggressive for my taste but I don't really see anyone on the forums repping the Challenge. Anyone able to find a shot on an AW e92?
