the hood seems a bit short or not fitting as well around the top of the kidney grille........It looks like he had the hood closed all the way too!!

Wouldn't buy it, but that's just my opinion.

Crap by the looks of it - MSRP is $3000 US though - comes from Japan, but looks like the typical Chinese junk.

Your car deserves better, but it would be fun to see that carbon roof cover go to pieces at 150+ mph when the sticky tape lets go!

Andrew@ET · 10-22-2007, 04:08 PM

i like that roof

look great on aw cars ..

hl0m4n · 10-22-2007, 04:23 PM

mang just wait for vorsteiner

and when the m3 csl comes out in europe. can't be guarenteed fitment and high quality carbon fiber. i suspect vorsteiner will make a c/f roof, etc when the csl is released..

Andrew@ET · 10-22-2007, 04:32 PM

i still want my sun roof tho.. wonder how they will stick them on or a full replacement?

canucklion · 10-22-2007, 04:36 PM

dude, it's a stick-on. No way it's a full replacement, it's not even possible unless you reinforce the body somehow to make up for the decrease in structural rigidity when you chop off the hood.

If the fitment looks questionable in the pics, I can only imagine how the one they send you will fit. Also, i'm loving the stick on fender vents.

ironic · 10-22-2007, 06:31 PM

wow

Andrew@ET · 10-23-2007, 12:33 AM

i was talking about the vostiener

oldaccount · 10-23-2007, 11:09 AM

hood buldge on a car whos engine doesnt require one, non-functioning hood vents, and a mafucking stick-on roof cover.

anybody running this shit loses at life.

i could see the CF sharkfin working well with an e92 M3 assuming the CF pattern would match, but i doubt it would.

mds82 · 10-23-2007, 12:32 PM

LOL did you read this???

"Prefect Fit (we test on our own E92 325)" There is NO such thing as a e92 325!!!!

This think looks like grabage..... DirectParts4u?????

yes there is, just not in this country, buddy

ANNNYWAYS... to reiterate what others have said:

Wait for the vorsteiner parts to come out. They will have a full replacement roof, a full vented hood, a full bootlid... and here's the truth of the matter. Even if those parts fit properly, they are WET LAY carbon fiber... which is about as strong as fiberglass. It's not vacuum formed, it doesn't have a honeycomb weave inside... it's not Vorsteiner

Plus... I doubt it fits as well as Vorsteiner, to begin with!

canucklion · 10-23-2007, 01:29 PM

the seller is in HK, there is E92 325 elsewhere in the world.

This is the same seller that's selling the Gruppe M replica intake.

Marc,

They do have 325i coupe in the rest of the world, just not in the US. This guy has been around on ebay for awhile so he's pretty legit. He also has a E90 roof in the making.

everything inherently wrong with this thread and your talking about eyelids?

Don Nguyen · 10-24-2007, 01:14 PM

Do not buy that item from ebay.

You will not know the quality of fitment, and you will not know how long that hood will last, if it even fits onto the car correctly.

Buy from a certified company, and a certified reseller, like **********s/Vorsteiner.

I am not trying to promote my company, but it is the truth, and I do not want to see people have any regrets or bad experiences with any of these ebay companies, like I have seen happen in the past.

Don Nguyen · 10-24-2007, 01:15 PM

Also, one guy may get lucky and get a good hood, but that does not mean the same for every single one of their hoods.
