Is it just me or does that last vent look almost like it has excess adhesive or something coming out from the edges?

Any plans on CF front fenders for the 1 that will allow for wider front tires (245 or 255)?
I already wore the top part of the "B" off Bridgestone! Need room for wider meats up front! |

Also, any pictures of non-vented hood?
I would love to have the vents but my 1 currently is not garaged and I have to deal with crappy Philly weather. How are the vents secured to the hood? Are they screwed/bolted in? Could I get two sets of vents? One that makes them functional for nice weather and one set for show (non-functional) that keeps the elements out? ??? |

Are the single-sided CF items have FRP reenforcement underneath? Does that account for the extra weight?

It's the same hood in terms of fitment, with the only difference being the slat-style lower vents are removed, and only the M3-Style vents and the power bulge stay. Here's a pic of the first iCS hood out of production: |

The Double Sided pieces are carbon on the outside AND inside, thus saving more weight |

Yes sir - sort of! We don't use standard issue FRP but rather our Vacuum Assisted Composite Construction (VACC) which is our form of "FRP". It's lighter and stronger due to proprietary manufacturing techniques, but it is is still heavier than Carbon. That is why the Double-Sided pieces weight less
