A few 'better' pics of the AE hood installed

mPlasticDesign · 03-13-2012, 03:29 PM

I am not a professional photographer but a few people have been wanting some better pics than what I posted already. I would love to do a proper photoshoot someday with some other owners in the NorCal area at some point but this will have to do for now. The pics are all reduced in size for easier viewing, no photoshop, the first pic is HDR because of the strong bright backlighting, but that's pretty much it.

Looks beautiful!

Car looks great man, it's the simple little mods that add up to make it your own personalized 1 .

Thanks. What does the future hold?

Cosmetics-wise I would like to do a ER CF engine cover with an IND painted scheme(Alpine White). Maybe wheels after the performance mods are done.

Performance-wise I would like to do a BMW electronic performance SW, Akrapocic down pipes, adjustable shocks and a flash(DINAN or ESS). The car is only 6mos old and these performance mods will come before it's first Bday!

That's pretty much it, nothing crazy.

///Machiavelli · 03-13-2012, 05:12 PM

great taste in mods!

Dan Parker · 03-13-2012, 05:21 PM

That hood looks hideous and it completely ruins the car. If you want to get rid of it I'll take it off your hands immediately.

Any info is greatly appreciated thank you

Powerbeast · 03-13-2012, 10:28 PM

I wasn't so sure about the hood until I see your car,very well done.

Simsims · 03-13-2012, 10:43 PM

imo hood looks too big and out of place

EINSER M · 03-13-2012, 11:05 PM

very nice metak, keep on modding!

Stratus650 · 03-13-2012, 11:27 PM

Thanks for the updated pics Metak !

car looks subtle and not overdone.

welldone !

rossii · 03-14-2012, 01:08 AM

I like it! From the side its very subtle.

UNO///M · 03-14-2012, 07:47 AM

Looks great!!! Have to say that I had my reservations regarding this hood on the AE car, but in 1M looks awesome, it complements the car.

Sheil · 03-14-2012, 08:41 AM

Looks great! I do find the bulge a little too large tough, compared to the M3 power dome. It is almost twice the size!

datbimmerdoe · 03-14-2012, 08:50 AM

uber clean! well played.
