Here are some shots for you from Longtran's car. Fitment is 100% guaranteed with vorsteiner and will install just like an OEM hood. I could try to work on a group buy for you guys, just get a group together and I will see what we can do

We spoke with Vorsteiner a few weeks ago about the production status of the E92 line. Their slated release is in October, most likely by the second or 3rd week. Bootlid and hood will be the first available.

The actual weights on this chart are from an E46 but the difference in weight savings will be the same for the E90 hoods: http://www.jlevisw.com/store/Weight_Chart.pdf

When the E92 and E93 comes out are they going to make one that can match the color of the car...I don't like the carbon fiber look..I want it to make the color of the car...I feel its too ricey when there's carbon fiber only on the hood and nothing else!!
