I like the M-tech. The hood is too Racekar for my taste, but it's your car.

I had the body shop guy look where the vents would fall and it is close to the intake so it would be getting fresh air but then snow/rain too :-/ think its a no go on the hood now.

Need help finding another hood!!?? Around 600

you could always just block off the vents from the back side if your that worried about it. When I first saw this I thought they didn't vent through; either way I'd do it myself.

i vote for oem hood and mtech front bumper with a cps lip or arkym if you wanna spend the extra money. the kercher lip isnt that bad either

Its really all about personal preference, I didn't like that hood until that guy just showed a pic of it on his car. I think it just doesn't look good in white.

i love this style on e92's

Tons of hoods have vents... Mine is fine and previous cars of mine have had similar hoods. It'll be fine. It's hot under the hood and will kill any driplets. If it's RAINING BUCKETS under your hood, you could always seal it off, but isn't your motor pretty sealed up from external sources as it is?

In summary, don't worry about it..

*edit*

Here's a crappy iPhone pic of my set up... I love the hood.
