New Hood options with vents?

8600RPM · 10-18-2014, 09:59 AM

I loved my e92 hood with the vents, especially with gloss black inserts. Really broke up the hood and overall look nicely and made it aggressive without the typical overly aggressive hood vents on some aftermarket options on cars. Any hoods available yet pre-painted with some modest vents? Would be a great engine to have some additional cooling as well no?

Duke dynamics.

I like the rear vents, not so much the front.

Wish someone would copy e92 m's hump... Aside from the v8, that was my favorite part.

I'm a vent hater, too ricey for me and that's coming from a Honda lover. I think the rear vents alone would be perfect but I guess who would buy a hood with just those little vents only. hahahaha

Would like to see a mock up of thin vents in the side of the hood where it tapers down on the outer edges. That could look different enough to be unique and also accentuate the rise in the hood.

looks like this will be heavier than the stock hood. More for looks

I wish there was a way to add vents without getting a whole new hood. The stock hood is already fidgety when closing. I'd be worried about fitment with an aftermarket hood.

F8x def needs at least the small scoops like the e9x had
