New Hood on The Block
In the new issue of Eurotuner, there is a white E92 owned by the manager of Rotora. Anyways he has this hood on his car and it looks good!
I think it's a cheaper alternative to the Vorsteiner vented hood that's coming out. What do you think about this hood? http://www.extremedimensions.com/9839.html

Yeah sorry, not feeling it. That's pretty ugly to me.
"Hmm... not enough carbon fiber...." "Add another pair of scoops!" "YES!!! That's exactly what it needs!"

Not sure....I guess you have to see it in person.
But my initial feel for it is....too many vents/openings of similar size.

I think it's because of the paint job. If you painted the the vents closer to the windshield white and leave the front two vents as-is would look better.

There's too many vents IMO.
Add a couple more and it will be a chess board. Chess anyone?

The design is definitely too busy. "Rice" comes to mind. Counting the front kidney grills, there are a total of 6 openings. Do the extra vents serve any purpose? Seems most of the heat generated is in the front of the hood, just above the kidneys.
