My Ride: 2008 528i Alpine White
I'm tempted. My car is alpine white also. I am about 6 hours away. And I almost bought the sellers OEM rear m5 bumper. But the PDC were too big. My car is a LCI. I got the smaller PDC. Anyways. $1300 is a little steep for me. Maybe the guy who replicates the hoods in LA will contribute towards this and that way he will have a mole to start selling these.
Let me call him on Monday and see. Anyone Out there wants to donate towards this hood. Let me know. Lol

Hit me up 
you got me thinking about the PDC thing so I went out and took pictures of the holes with a dime and quarter, you be the judge to see if they fit lol, I think they are DIME size, the ring around may be just a rim for the actual pdc. The quarter will not fit in there smoothly but check out the dime.
Maybe other people can also help out decide. Call me up if this is what you need we can work out something both both hood and bumper if you need it.

FYI guys I'm working on having some CF and FRP trunks made in the Ericsson style first before the CF hood... unless a hood is in higher demand. Problem still comes back to needing a sample to use. Even if we used an OEM hood for the base, still need to figure out how the CF vents look and how big to make the bulge at the top..

Everyone had agreed to wait and buy off Ebay.
I know my guy is making a new mould for the v-bonnet... he is using better quality CF as well to prevent yellowing and bubbling that some other people have experienced....
Should be done in 2-3 weeks... i will be changing to the new CF material hood for free!
