Also, we are not "implementing" it as our own at all. We are doing design sketches to play around with a concept. IF the time comes where this design will be integrated into a product, we would of course obtain permission where necessary. JL |

'Photoshopping' something, by definition, is not creating in the real sense of the word. It is taking someone else's creation and altering it into a derivative work.
The only intellectual property is the derivative work, which in this case is a digital image. If someone were trying to sell that digital image as their own the person who did the photoshop could "potentially get burned." Taking a digital image and making a carbon fiber hood out of it goes far beyond the intellectual property of the person who made the derivative work. Thousands of aftermarket parts are inspired by photochops, if you think the photoshoppers somehow acquire ownership rights to those products you are crazy. Can you imagine that world? We would all be billionare sketch artists...

Maybe this hood was in the works by ///OSS.......
It really doesn't matter. I was just expressing my concern. I am not trying to hate on JLevi or Vorsteiner, and I hope the project comes of as a success.:headbang: And thanks, I'm not crazy, at least that is what my puppet friend says....

i would like the booser style hood with just the center vent, no side vents. better yet would be just the booser cf hood with no vents, its a nice subtle change nothing too drastic.
no power dome or ram air scoops please. |

i don't like the eylid design from the PS - it looks good from that 3/4 angle, but head on it doesn't. Also, it evokes the pre facelift e90, the design of which i cannot stand. I think the best place for inspiration for the hood would be to look at the stock e92 hood (non m3 - hate that hump), with its tight lines. I would skip all the vents. Its a bmw, it should be understated and subtle like the classic, pre-bangled bimmers.
Also, i don't understand - the hood will cover part of the headlights? how will it be a tight seal with the glass of the headlights?

Well it wouldn't necessarily have to be tight on the headlights. It just needs a lip that fits tight to where the OE hood would normally sit, and the metal would essentially extend forward from there.

We won't offer these prepainted as with such large panels, it's best to have a local body shop match your car's specific paint fade and fresh paint on such a large piece can be easily damaged during transit. We can ship smaller painted parts like spoilers, grills and door lock covers no problem but for larger items, it's best to have it done locally.

Could a rough time frame for production -> shipment be given? Not looking for a specific date just wondering if late this year or early next year is a possibility. |

This is slated to be ready for early next year. We'll be working closely with Vorsteiner to produce one of the first completed 1's with the Vorsteiner package.

Alright I just want to get this straight. If we have an open filter, such as the Riss Racing Ram intake, its recommended we get the version with sealed vents? Sealed vents, so it would be purely aesthetic with some bonus due to lighter weight, but its not going to help with any heat?
