Thanks again for that info skunkd. So far you've been the biggest source of info on that hood (besides having the balls to order it first). We need more members like you, and hopefully I can do a little to support the forums too by providing additional hood options.

My gripe is more about the design of the hood vents, not the CF material. In all honesty, I could care less if there is any CF on the hood at all since my main interest was in the vents themselves, hence my fixation on the vents and "power bulge."



P.S. I know for a fact that a replica Vorsteiner hood exists. There is a member who recently sold his Interlagos Blue E60 M5 WITH a Vorsteiner replica hood.

My vents are CF finish not plain black....

You can either go for CF or black fibreglass finish. The chicken wire can be sprayed to match OR you just take out the mesh. Simple.

There is a cap to cover the underneath of the vents to prevent water getting into engine bay - issues with mildew etc... however....it can be unscrewed out so that the vents actually work.

Emails sent to my guy - waiting for his feedback
