M3 style hood for non-M3 E92 ?

Any other manufacturers make a M3 style hood for the non-M3 E92s (328i)? I see that **********s sells one in FRP but it has 1 review that says the quality is shit and had a bunch of ripples in it that had to be bonded before painted to make it look decent and smooth.

It really depends on which brand you go with. Here is a picture of the M3 style hood in FRP installed on XYR03's E92 !

Looks like it has a little bit more of a gap in between the kidney grilles and the hood. I am sure there is some fitment issues that would have to be worked out...but it just looks sooo bad ass!

If you are after fit and finish, then go with Vorsteiner. They offer a power dome hood for the E92 as well as a vented version.

Some minor adjustments to the latch can be made to solve that issue
