Will paint to match in and out, no CF showing. I want functionality and something which is not easily noticeable.
I'll post pics when painted. Cheers

It looks like the hood might not be closed but either way the hood looks sick, is it double or single sided?

Just to answer the question...there are no issues w the fitment or the site lines or the closing of the hood.
Here is a pic of the hood painted, CF vents, and installed and before we installed hood pins or other elements. Fits great, looks great, works great, and is highly functional. Bruce BRracing |

I love the idea of having this hood but Im just scared at how much more itd be to get it paint matched with a clear coat on top, and not the vents |

If ur worried about cost I don't think this mod is for you sir. It will def cost you an arm and a leg. Mods aren't for everyone as you and I know but for those who can afford good for them.

the 1er's hood is only latched at one point in the center. At speed air gets undernath the hood by the lights and the hood lifts slightly. The pins keep the hood down an secure

If I was going for that I wouldnt be a pansy for cost obviously since I wouldnt be cheaping on some ebay hood, but if I could get the paint process done for less that would be best..I dont wanna just hand out 2 grand to some shop n say "ah well, its an expensive mod anyways, screw it"

The picture under that is of a 135i is Oz that was doing slightly north of 150 at the time. Hood pins prevent that from happening. This lifting issue affects all 1er hoods for the reason mentioned above, but it affects CF hoods more because of their lighter weight. Last edited by BrokenVert; 03-31-2010 at 10:00 PM.. |

Hmmk, well like i said ive never seen pictures of anyone else with this hood with pins or ever heard of the need for them to keep the hood down during high speed..just doesnt seem to be an apparent issue..the air the travels thru the kidneys goes straight thru the tunnel to the filter

There is no way it should cost 2 grand to paint that CF hood...if you are being quoted that much then they are robbing you... |
