F80 M3 trunk replacement advice

HermanL · 07-30-2021, 10:47 AM

Hi guys, my car was recently involved in a hit and run that put a big dent on my trunk. Insurance quoted a 2000 dollar repair which get me thinking about aftermarket cf option. A brief search only yields a couple options for F30/F80, mostly Seibon csl trunk. My concern was the fitment issues some seemed to experienced with this trunk. I wonder if anyone here runs the seibon or other cf trunks would share your opinion on aftermarket trunk? Would I be better off just grab an used one off eBay, refinish and call it a day? Thanks!

I would avoid an eBay trunk. The amount of prep that it will require to make it look and fit properly will offset any savings you had based on the cost.
