E90 Pre-Lci hood options

I am now modding the outside of my car since I cant mod anything else LOL! So I am looking at hoods and honestly cant find a hood I am crazy about....I can find awsome hoods for LCI put not Pre-Lci. I like the look of this JGmods hood but I wish the vents where a bit staggard like the vorsteiner or something similar instead of right next to eachother, is there a hood like this? I must be searching under the wrong name...any pointers would be great. I will be also reserching CSL style trunks lid, bumper with diffuser if anyone has some good pointers. I have seen to many horror stories of DD CSL trunk lids...that is a no go. Pretty set on the M3 front bump with V style lip. Side skirts are also challenging to find for E90 LOL!!

Any advice is appreciated, will continue to search also.

Here is the JGmods hood that is not bad:

If you're going to do the whole front end, why not look into an LCI swap with pre-lci headlights? looks a lot more aggressive imo.

JG's hoods look good. I wanted that one but always wanted from Vorsteiner so I opted for this one from LTMW.

I'm doing an LCI conversion soon, you might just want to get the LCI hood and whatever LCI front bumper you like best

Rob brother trust me when I tell your best option is the LCI front. The pre LCI is looking very dated and with the LCI hood and msport front bumper it will update the look of your car drastically.

If I were you I wouldn't consider any other hood brother. They all are a bit to much IMO

I like that bulge and the vents on the GTR hood....I will give it some thought though!

I believe this is a M3 hood, can this style hood be found in LCI E90 if I do the conversion? I like that it doesn't have the vents near each other and are staggered...looks perfect!!!

I am guess you can use OSS LCI lights for the conversion?

You would have to buy LCI headlights and then like I said get it done from either OSS or my guy like I did. And you know I would hook you up with that brother. And you also don't need a front clip. All you would need is the front bumper and hood they bolt right up. And if you wanted the headlights they bolt right up to.

Yes that would be your next thing to do after the front. I'm telling you it drastically updates the car man. Just look at this as a reference for huge rear. Although its a e91its very easy to see what I'm talking about.

And you already know that my front end looks like which would be the conversion you would be after. Just pm me cause I know you will have kits of questions. You know I know you all to well Rob

You got it! You can get the 2009 hood! Which I think is very aggressive, much better lines then pre lci, and any lci front end you want be it a rep, mtech, al should bolt on no new headlights
