Anyone with a carbon fiber hood?

Joe_E · 10-04-2016, 03:02 AM

Just curious to see how many of you guys have gone for the Carbon Fiber hood? Opinions on it?

I don't have one, but very interested in Seibon Carbon's version. Looks pretty mean. Which one are you looking at?

Haven't been looking too much because doubt I'll be doing it soon or at all. However I have seen that brand hood and liked it a bit. Just wanted to see how many people out there actually have their hoods changed

Got the Seibon GTR style on my F30, and I love it. Fits perfect, extremely easy to install, and the vents seem to actually make a difference on engine temp on long cruises.

Ignore the crap CF lip, it was an experiment that is no longer there:

WOOOOOOOW

That looks AMAZING! Actually like the lip, very nice care. Good work sir

You got a M3 bumper installed. Also fenders? Just curious, because the standard M3/M4 hood is nearly 1" longer as the standard F3x hood and would not fit. So?

Yuck...

Just the nose piece is longer, not the hood.

Would actually buy a gtr hood. My f30 bms intake heatsoaks when im driving, so the vents will be very helpful for bms intake owners.

Delete1 · 10-18-2016, 12:14 PM

Are the any manufacturers offering vented hoods that are not carbon?
