Here are some pics that will sell you on this hood. Single Sided is a 23lb weight savings and Double Sided is 28lbs. My revozport hood fit very well. I painted mine but Einser M left his raw cf. I had my Aero Catches installed at Revozport which is a great option for them to offer. Measuring and installing them is a pain and having the hood come that way made it a DIY install.

My advice when getting any CF hood is make sure you add aero catches or hood pins. |

it will latch securely without them for regular driving with the stock latch but at high speeds etc. u may want the aero catches for security. THey will help the hood fit better too

In that case, if one was going with no aero catches, would it be more advisable to go with the single sided option as the added weight might help in securing the hood?

I would get the aero catches regardless of single sided or double. If I had to choose between double sided and no aeros or single sided and aero catches, I would get single sided with aero catches. |

If you don't use aero catches the hood will not fit well and it will lift at above 70mph due to the air going under it. That's how it is for all the E82 hoods because we only have one security latch in the middle unlike the E9x cars which have two latches.

Anyone know where to get a CF bonnet with a power dome that doesn't have fitment issues and doesn't lift up with speed?

Does it exist in aluminium then? Like the e92 m3 - I saw one last year for e82 in Switzerland but can't find it anymore for the life of me!

No because it's steel, and the M3 bonnet is Aluminium. Not a fan of the aerocatches so an alu powerdome hood for the 1M would be so sweet - and probably even cheaper than carbon fiber.

But you can buy this hood or any hood for the E82 platform without Aerocatches just be prepared for it to lift above 70mph. Eventually if you keep driving with it lifting at 70+ mph the stress will crack and the hood might fly up and either hit your windshield or just go behind you. |
