SEIBON's E90 Carbon Fiber Hood!

bavarian06 · 08-19-2006, 02:19 AM

jeff, paint the edges so it looks like this... you already have the black roof going.

ScBlacksunshine · 08-19-2006, 02:51 AM

Are you guys offering the hood with hoodpins option, I personally wouldn't trust the stock hood latch to hold down the CF hood, I've seen some crazy thing happened before....

Jeff@FusionAW · 08-19-2006, 03:52 AM

This product seems like it was rushed.

cdheaven · 08-19-2006, 12:07 PM

what seems rushed about this???? i think it looks good. and i dont think it looks that bad cause its white. it looks not that good, because that car is basically stock. the car needs to be much more aggresive to pull off the hood.

No indentation for the roundel, no holes for the grill pieces, but most importantly no design to make it special. Lets be real carbon hoods are mostly for looks on street cars and most people are going to be painting over the carbon or at least portions of it because it looks like tacky on a BMW in raw form. Look at the hoods available for the e46. They have unique designs like vents and bulges and I would not mind painting those because it will have subtle touches that differentiate them from the stock hood. Of course this is just my opinion and feedback.

diesel007 · 08-19-2006, 12:47 PM

Some hoods I would like to see!

I agreed with you here, the roundel is an important key to making it right

cdheaven · 08-20-2006, 03:09 PM

i think if the hood came with an indentation for a roundel, half of you guys would be complaining it should be more and cleaner looking. you cant make all the people happy all the time

just4kickz · 08-20-2006, 06:05 PM

i think i know why the e90 cf hood doesnt look as good as the e46 ones... its cause the e90 side panels dont connect with the front windshield's holder... crap hella dont know how to explain it... but anyways... the front windshield's window trim area doesnt connect to the side panels an therefore the CF doesnt flow and looks out of place... ill do a Paint brb.

Actually pleasing people is what it's all about. Smart companies want feedback on new products.

Ryan@Motorwerks · 08-20-2006, 07:00 PM

Please tell us about the construction of this hood.(Reisin %, is it all CF or does it have Fiberglass core, etc.)

jojogargoles · 08-20-2006, 07:14 PM

not digging it

SocalTy · 08-20-2006, 11:03 PM

I agree with Diesel. The E46 hoods look much nicer IMO. Love the air vents in the hood.
