Carbon fibre hood help

Zoog · 10-05-2016, 08:49 PM

Need some advice. Bought carbon fibre hood from extreme parts hood arrived slightly damaged wasn't biggest deal so I decided to put it on anyways. The bolts to attach the hood latch are the only one that fit the other two for the hooks are way too shallow and the ones for the actually hood to attach to car are wonky. The struts to hold up the hood don't fit as the holes are drilled too big. I am in dire need of hood and really don't want to have to ship it back. [/IMG][IMG]

Lol yea they wouldn't be aftermarket in that case man. BMW CF products they do have are spot on though as far as quality and fitment, have a few myself.

I have a few myself too all I meant was I wished BMW made the same aftermarket parts as some other vendors but in BMW fitment.
