Any carbon fiber vented hoods for the E92?

suzaku · 04-05-2007, 11:47 AM

I was wondering if anyone is making a CF hood for the e92 coupes. I know vorsteiner makes great hoods for the e90 but couldn't find anything for the coupe. Anyone has info on this?

The CF hood for the e90 came about two years after the release of the car... you may have to wait a while for the e92 version.

It would help cool down the engine temp a little...they need to redesign the grills/vents though...

something like this? but smaller and doesn't bulge up as much..

And if you say, this shit belong on japanese riced out cars i'm gonna slug you...

Yo, dat 'hood belongs on German sauerk-out cars.

Looks like an the Autobot logo minus the eyes.

I wonder if Japanese companies like Bomex, Veilside, Do-luck, etc would ever make a hood for the E92. Yes I know it's a German car, but asians are getting their hands on these and with the tuning possibilities, who knows.

i dunno why but i was just thinking Ferrari Maranello Hood when I read the title of the thread... but i highly doubt it would look good on the e92s...
any thoughts?

MacAttack · 04-05-2007, 11:20 PM

Don't know. Don't want to search what it looks like. Post some pics brother and ask again.

....and how's your CF hood working out?

pepsiboi · 04-05-2007, 11:26 PM

im lazy also haha.
im sure it would look weird.
but my cf hood is doing great, except people try to race me and my 325i can't possibly race anyone...
no race for me! :'(

rabyrab · 04-08-2007, 10:16 PM

thats funny, i love when i get challenges, i just hate getting caught for racing/speeding and losing but not many cars will beat me.

suzaku · 04-10-2007, 01:18 AM

I just called vortsteiner yesterday. They said that they are going to start developing a hood for the e92 coupe in may and are expecting release sometime in august. Long way to go I guess

SV Concepts · 04-20-2007, 03:01 PM

We will have the hood as soon as it is released

ArmyBimmerDude · 04-20-2007, 07:01 PM

August. Wow. I cant believe how slow some of these companies are to come out with products.

Cost Benefit Analysis on whether its worth it (Business plan), Design, Investments, Production, Advertising, Distribution and Sales....takes a while brother. ...but, like you, I want it now.

ksfrogman · 04-20-2007, 07:52 PM

I'm certain Vorsteiner will come out with their version. Many e46 M3 and ci's have it.

SV Concepts · 04-25-2007, 09:45 PM

Its in development

William · 07-07-2007, 01:13 PM
