iCarbon Carbon Fiber CSL Trunk

After many months of waiting we were finally able to get a iCarbon trunk. The wait was longer because we wanted a double sided carbon fiber trunk as opposed to the single sided.
We just received the trunk back from paint and mounted it right up.

This is exactly what the 135 needed. It steps up the agressiveness level and even people at gas stations have been asking if it is a 1M (it's debadged at the moment). We couldn't be happier with the product and it was well worth the wait. All iCarbon product, both single and double sided, is in stock so if you're interested, visit us at www.hpashop.com or shoot us a PM.

I wish our trunk didn't have that long brake light on the trunk like the 3 series doesn't.

Still looks great though

ICarbon went out of business. You can still get this trunk from DTMrack on close out. Look in the commercial sales section for iCarbon. I think they only have 2 left but they are single sided carbon.

Yup iCarbon is out of business right now. Wait for the SleK trunk that is coming out in a few weeks it will be much higher quality just like the front lip they have out right now.

Any design sketches or teasers? Or is it going to be exactly like this but with higher quality?

It is going to be similar to the CSL style but not 100% the same. Meaning the SleK designer took a look at the curves of our car and based the fin around that, so it will be a different size than iCarbon's with higher quality.

A teaser should be up this week or next.

Keep me posted, I haven't installed my iCarbon yet so I'm not totally partial to it. I might be able to be convinced to sell it

You say this Slek stuff will be such higher quality than the ICarbon shit, but wheres the backing for this? I mean, other than their obvious going out of business, ICarbon made some good looking stuff. How is this trunk poor quality?

I've heard good things about Slek but the proof is in the product. Cautiously optimistic...

I'd like to see someone run this through a wind tunnel to see what the real effects are. Anyone willing to pony up the cash for a session, I'm sure it's cheap.

iCarbon's stuff has no clear coat, so unless you plan on painting every piece then it will yellow in 1-3 years depending on the amount of sunlight it is exposed to.
