I'm hoping that once I remove my cowl and put on the BT filters even more heat will be able to escape the backside of the hood. Mind you I don't have an oil cooler.
That's very interesting info..

I haven't heard/ seen anyone complain on this forum about a replica M3, Carbon hood not fitting correctly.

Maybe I'm wrong? Idk. I don't own a carbon fiber hood to be honest. I think back in the day, vendors sold replica M3 steel hoods, but you can't find them now days. The only ones I've seen are CF. I know you can paint CF any color you want too.
