Very nice looking hood.

Think this would look exceptionally good on darker colored e90s.

Any plans for anyother designs on the carbon hoods? For instance I think the new M3 hood looks great. Really aggressive looking.

I know this is a photochop. However, It's still close to how the new hood will look like.

25 pounds seems a bit heavey for cf. the cf hoods are usually light enough to carry it around with a finger.

As for the hood, they're 24lbs! Much lighter than the stock hoods!

Fitment is great, installation took a little under 40 minutes.

We will be receiving shipment of CF trunks soon as well.

$680 USD SHIPPED!

is it just me but how come this car doesnt come w/ ion projectors? i noticed some cars are like this.

BeeEmDubU · 08-17-2006, 02:21 AM

xenon headlights are optional if thats what you're asking

neuronpetkowski · 08-17-2006, 03:05 AM

we definitely should see this on a dark (black) colored e90. can you get a pic of it close up to see the weave?

EVO_S4 · 08-17-2006, 03:51 AM

got pics of it close up, would like to see how the gap compare to stock, do you think make it with a place for the BMW roundel later

siopao · 08-17-2006, 01:56 PM

Hey guys!

This hood will definately look great on a dark colored car. On white, the pics dont do it any justice. Looks way better in person. I guess it's how the camera angles were taken.

24lbs for the hood is actually very light. Many CF hoods out there weigh that much in average.

The stock hood is roughly 40 lbs when we weighed it.

CF, it's a love it or hate it sorta thing.

I will take closer pics ASAP

Thanks for the responses.

I am currently looking for a SG or Black E90 i can put this hood on!

aapriadi · 08-17-2006, 02:01 PM

is the installation difficult?

mds82 · 08-17-2006, 02:28 PM

puke.. looks horrible on white!

siopao · 08-17-2006, 02:36 PM

Installation was very simple. direct bolt on!

hehehe we definately need a dark colored car to put the hood on!

Longtran: i will be contacting you ASAP!

oh, so 325 headlamps look like that? i thought i knew all the differences, but guess not. thanks.

EVO_S4 · 08-17-2006, 09:39 PM

Is there any way you can get the BMW roundel on there

Jeff@FusionAW · 08-18-2006, 05:21 AM

just got one installed today, the fitment is pretty good. the only problem was the grill piece on the hood, the oem screws was too short, we need to find longer one at hardware store. also need to drill the holes for the piece on your own. other than that. thumb up
for BMW roundle, I think you can still use double side tape or glue it on =)

We came across the same problem.

We just removed the washers that came with the screws and used a tapered bit. problem solved.

I will post pics in a second.

As or the roundel. There isnt an insert where you can stick it in. However on older gen BMW's, owners usually just stick the roundel on the hood (as what Jeff@Fusion just stated)

cut the 2 pins underneath the BMW roundle, and 3M double side tape it

the carbon fiber weave is very pretty

siopao · 08-18-2006, 01:18 PM

Sorry for a bit of the blur

We used a tapered off the holes.

The screws fit in nice and flush, tapered + removed the washers

Jeff@FusionAW · 08-18-2006, 01:23 PM

that works. thanks for the info.
gonna get the car ready for this coming HIN show on Sat, i will post some more pics later on.
oh and the hood is 1/3 lighter than stock one, took us about 40 mins to install it, the hood is not only for look, also weight saving, very nicely made.

siopao · 08-18-2006, 02:04 PM

Not too bad of an install!

Send me some pictures after HIN!
