What do you guys think, I like this design, I am thinking of painting the sides and leaving the vent cf, so its like a V-shape, I think it would look nice and aggressive. Should I try this hood on the E60. CF VIS Penta Hood

not feeling the vents, go with the vorsteiner or the one that trinity sell that looks like a vorsteiner, I think they go for $900.

Check out the VIS vented GTR hood that I just put on my M5 last weekend. I got mine from Nerwyll and Joe at TRINITY AUTOSPORT. They will get you the best deal possible! We are thinking of the same type of mod....i wnat to go up the roof and down the trunk lid to the trailing edge of the spoiler in CF. V shape following the kidneys through the natural hood line in the front. Great minds think alike...here's the link to the pics

I actually like the look of this better than the other options I've seen with the exception of the Vorsteiner. I say do it. I don't think anyone else has this hood. Be sure to post pics when it's on!

I like this one compared to the others ive seen... this one is clean and resembles something the Original Manufacturers would design.
Unlike those other hoods that look like a barbeque grill with all those vents YUK!!!
