Update: I got a few parts recently. Still trying to get her back to 100% aftert the vandals got the best of her.
* new glass front & rear* new carbon fiber hood - cant wait for this to be delivered. I think I'll be the first E60 with this new hood* new driver side rear door * OEM iPod interface (steal of a deal, got it for only $100!!!!)* still hunting for lci tails* installing the HR springs with the door and new hood this wk or next wk* found a process for creating my own custom matte color for my vinyl wrap I'm about to do....should be crazy!
On a sidenote: I did the M5 charcoal filter delete a while back...amazing!

ordered a CF hood to replace my oem hood that was damaged. it just arrived today. i cant wait to install it!
the powerdome is just like the E92 M3....looks great. i was worried it would be too high/big but its perfect!
close up of the vents...
the pictures really dont do it justice. its just enough....not loud, not in your face or over the top...im in love.

[font="'Comic Sans MS"]How much lighter is it that the aluminium one, and how much did it cost you?[/font]

right now im trying to figure out how to install it lol.
i plan to weight it before i put it on....but its pretty damn light...my guess is like 40lbs...maybe less.
i will weigh both during the install process......
pricing: it was on ebay for 960 shipped (i haggled it down a bit tho)

ok, so i weighed the OEM all alumninum M5 hood and it was roughly 32lbs on a digital scale....the Seibon Carbon fiber hood weighed in at 22lbs on the digital scale....so obviously this mod is not for weight savings but purely aesthetics!
anyway pulling the hood off was really easy. i did that part by myself actually....here's a progress pic.
