It says right in the ad that asjustments may be needed for proper fit.

Unless you are an experienced body installer/fabricator or have one that can do it for free, you're looking at the risk of wasting the money spent on the hood and also the labor cost. Understand the risk and you decide if the saving justify it. Good luck

Why not just get an oem m3 hood?

007_e350 · 01-22-2015, 05:11 PM

thanks guys, I let it go, also the way OEM hood is fabricated, it buckles front portion first upon impact rather than just passing the whole metal sheet into the windshield.. I dont think aftermarket hoods can do that.. so I didnt opt for it, the body shop's fixing my current one (deer hit me from the side)

Check out rockauto. They have oem and oe alternatives

Don't get JL motoring either, terrible fitting hood. I got the M3 CF hood and they're is huge gap in front, doesn't fit correct on rear where it meets pillars either.
