hmmm, if youre going for an aggressive look and it WILL be painted, then I guess
I dont think there are any arctic e90s with that kind of set-up. might be something special!

Personally I think that way about the vorsteiner hood with the vents, dome, and more vents. Thats why I like this one, its pretty calm compared to that, especially if its painted. But, thats why I am asking you guys, I have always liked the M3 hood so I had an idea... But seriously thanks for the input! Keep it coming

Well being a noob at modding in general This is something I really like on the M3 and suddenly found it was possible for my car, but I really want to make my car as aggressive as possible, for an E90... I want to do something substantial this Christmas on it and this came to mind. But I'm open for any suggestions, it's hard as nobody has arctic anything so I have to buy new most of the time...

don't take any notice to the negative comments, they're the ones that drive bone stock anyways.
i always say, "it's YOUR car so do what YOU want" just a suggestion, but what do think about this paint scheme?

There's better ways to make your car look aggressive. Making a 330 look like an M3 is lame. Just my 2 cents.

You know I almost went with the same hood from Carbon8, but at the end of the day I didnt want it to look too much like an M3 (with only having a 330) as I already had the M3 Bumper and the M3 Skirts going on, I feel the powerdome is too aggerssive for just a 330.
Some people feel as tho M3 rep parts make you a poser, I personally do not care what others think, so if you like it go for it.

When you change the hood, you are modifying a very large portion of the aesthetics. Without modifying other parts of the car you lose the rhythm and flow of the design, which makes people think it looks dumb or out of place. If the hood is all you do, it will look kinda cheesy but in all honesty, if it makes you happy, don't ask for opinions just do it!

That looks great but only because it's on a dark car. It wouldn't work with his light color and would make it even more ghetto if he didn't paint the whole thing. I'm not a big fan of the dome either in general...

I like just the dome as mentioned above, i do like the 2 tone but as mentioned not on a light colored car such as mine. I never wanted the vents but the only dome without vents on the hood I can find is for the e92. But, I may start out with a new bumper and work my way up to where it would actually look "in place" thanks guys, I appreciate the opinions!

That hood may be a lot of things, but to me, Ghetto Isn't one of them...Probably because that Hood ALONE costs more than most peoples CARS in the Ghetto. lol That's a really nice piece...but yea, you have to have the proper supporting mods. for it to work.
