It does look very good. I like very much. The rims might look more matched to the car if there are white lips around the rims.

It's aesthetically o.k. I'm not in love with it...

+1 .....maybe the hood is lightweight aluminum already, so not much weight savings? Curious if they are using wet carbon fibre mold or dry carbon?

Everything was good up to the black trunk. Not so much a fan of that.

I think the picture killed it. White car + white background = fail. It looks okay to me from what I see.

i don't know why people like a black trunk lid on a white car.

it's ugly and it clashes.

it's missing a black door. lemme fix that:

Erm...the IS-F version of the CSL trunk for BMWs doesn't cut it for me. I can already see my friends at e46fanatics bashing it. Heck, I'd take it stock compared to this....

The all-black wheels ruin it.

Nobody told them that this look went "out" in 2006.

i agree.. i think Vorsteiner should stick to what's good for them and that is the BMW side..
