Ah okay, what rear bumper are you doing? I was going to do the M3 style originally but decided I didn't want to get a custom exhaust, probably getting AWE in the future.

Im gonna do the m3 style bumper within the next few months gotta sweet talk the wife lol

Whats the hood made of. Can u get it withough the vents

Sniper101 · 10-24-2017, 02:53 AM

The hood is made of steel but their are carbon fiber options as well i just decided to go with steel and yes you can get it without vents and prepainted colors matches perfect

Sniper101's hood is the only type of aftermarket I've seen in Canada at the very least, not a huge market for it I guess.

Domotron · 10-24-2017, 09:31 AM

who makes the hood ? where did you buy it from ?

Sniper101 · 10-24-2017, 09:34 AM

Wow that hood really helps tie the bumper to the rest of the car. You need to get yourself some 437 rims now.

Sniper101 · 10-24-2017, 02:36 PM

I havent heard of anyone tinting their fog lights but thats a good idea

Yea i need to get some 437 bit i want them powder coated black

DanM2C · 10-24-2017, 06:05 PM

I got some Lamin-x:

Here's what mine looks like:

Ignore the little bit of white you see there, it's the fog light brackets that the shop painted white in error. Otherwise it's hard to tell I have fog lights from farther away. I changed the fog lights to brighter white ones too, so I still get the benefits of the fogs but less conspicuous.

Love this idea, I've been thinking about doing the same on my car after seeing yours. The white brackets in behind are hardly noticeable, I wouldn't sweat it.
