ebay trunk lid

Zero_09 · 03-12-2015, 04:05 PM

I bought a carbon fiber trunk lid for my E90 LCI and I think it's damaged.

Is this how it's supposed to be? It looks like it split from the bottom but if I just put it on my trunk you don't really see it. I'm not sure if it's too difficult to see from the pictures.

there are two layers, usually top is cf, lower is FIBERGLASS.

You bought it from ebay, quality will be lower than most known CF performance part manufactures such as vorsteiner varis etc.

You will notice same trunk style will have different prices within same manufacture if they use fiberglass base and put carbon on the outside layer, or if they make it all with cf.

Does it look like it's broken to you though or is it supposed to be like that?

Is that a spoiler? Or whole trunk?
