Vorsteiner trunk paint question

stylin8o8 · 07-31-2012, 02:21 PM

Hey guys im looking for a Vorsteiner trunk for my 2011 LCI e90 m3. I have seen many people paint their trunks from that CF look who does that? i also saw a picture of one where the lip part is faded at both ends to have CF in the middle of that duck tail/lip who paints it like that? any help would be appreciated.

Most dedicated shops can do that fade. I'm on my phone so i can't see your location but if you live in SoCal Nate at C&C Collision does an amazing job. He painted my trunk and hood.

Just choose a good body shop near you.

How much should I expect to pay for paint and install?

I would personally paint match it Jet Black. In fact someday I just might do this.

I skipped the fade. I left the edge unpainted and painted the top. I left the inside trunk double sided CF unpainted. Cost was $450. I wouldn't pay more than $600.
