Best Hood Options?

Greetings,

I am looking for the best hood options for the E92 335.

The one look that I can not help but love is the M3 Powerdome. Would a stock M3 hood fit my car?

What are the best fitting carbon/fiberglass options out there?

Any help would be appreciated.

Nope, M3 stock hood won't fit the regular E92 335i; because it's about 2-3 inches longer than regular e92.

1st option is to go with aftermarket M3 hood, but some of them doesn't look right.

2nd option is to get the aftermarket hood from Vorstiener & Duke Dynamics.

Thanks for the responses guys.

While I really like the Vorsteiner V-35, I am in love with the powerdome look vs heat extraction. Does Vorsteiner offer a really good fitting version of this? If not, who does?

Thanks again,

I went with the PowerDome. While I appreciate the V-35 it is just not my cup-O-tea.

To me, the PowerDome is aggessive and subtle.

I will update this page with photos from arrival, test fit, paint, and final install.

Thanks,
