If people were curious I cut the front part that gets in the way of the grille. It worked and I'm also selling the hood cause I just got my new one in.

That doesn't look all that bad. I just cut the top section of the kidney grills off. Looks a bit off. I've been looking for a LCI hood but I want a painted one off a rear ended car

[edirtaynine]

am i trippin or are you the same moxy from audizine back in the day??

[edit] btw, if you are him, thanks again for all the help with my old b6 back then!! clearing out my headlight corners, ultrasport bumper swap, installing and recalibrating the rns-d nav, cf hood swap and all the coding you hooked me up with! (teamBOB, the asian guy with the dolphin gray b6 1.8tq on 18" abt wheels)

[M O X Y]

[just4kickz]

[mapleridge]

You side stepping the pic requests. MOoOAAaaaAAaaAR PICS!!!!

[M O X Y]

if any one local to socal wants to see it just pm me. All i did was take a dremel to the part that sticks out.

[mapleridge]

OMG. Thanks. Even better, it's a DIY. Seriously. Post it up in there. Brave man, big results.

I think that looks terrible, and you ruined a good hood. All you had to do was remove the outer trim from the grills, and only use the fins. Now you have a huge gap in the most prominent space on the whole car.

IDK man. All things considered, I think he did well. Props to former audizine member and for being bold.

Gap is pretty minimal. Aftermarket hoods have way worse gaps. I think it looks more cheese with the cut grills. Considering this myself.

not bad for a DIY but I would have picked up an LCI hood as well - LCI front looks great though!

Op said he has another hood in the works. Might be LCI might be aftermarket. this was a perfect holdover while the new one arrived.

[N0OS3]

it's not perfect but i guess if you really wanted to save a buck or two, this could work. I still prefer the indentations on the LCI hood though... adds a bit of "flare" to the body work.

[TC_e90]

e90 LCI m-tech front looks good

[datbimmerdoe]

nice work!

[Gohm1]

That gap would KILL me.

Anyone know if you can re-use the OEM pre lci hardware on an LCI hood? getbmwparts has just the hood for $487 + shipping.
