Last I checked E90 is slightly nose heavy. this will make it perfect.

Definitely takes an agressive look to pull off the CF hood. I dunno if an E90 could pull it off, without a full body kit. Maybe Vorsteiner will come out with E90 parts, probably have to wait till the E90 M3 comes out for them to make them though.

i used to be a fan of cf hoods, but it's fading away. now i prefer the clean look of painted hoods more.

[Gearcraft]

we can paint the hood right?

[siopao]

definately, CF hoods can be painted. I can get something started on a groupbuy on CF hoods if anyone is interested.

Damn sounds expensive for just the hood! Out of my price range!

[shragon]

also there's different types of carbon fiber hoods, ones that are full cf and ones that are cf on top of fiberglass. the second type mentioned will gain you no real weight savings and is the cheaper of the bunch.

[richbum]

i'm interesting in a group buy actually.. i want a price quote! and a carbon fiber trunk... I've been waiting for someone to make one.
Here are my plans by the way (my car is alpine white):
No bodykit, Carbon fiber hood & trunk, air ride, front wind splitter, a new rear bumper for the eisenhaus quad exhaust, and CSL rims.

[Hunter399]

I want one...

[siopao]

Ok, so far i have
1) richbum
2) hunter
I will try to get a price up hopefully by monday in the marketplace section. hope to see more people interested

[Chesmu]

i still haven't seen a picture on an e90. the e-bay site for seibon doesn't have a picture! SO now I whip out the old...

[siopao]

yeah i want to show pics but Seibon hasnt even come out with CF hoods. I dont know how the ebay is already selling them since the hoods arent even out yet . Invision is guaranteed the first shipment and once they arrive i'll test fit and post up picutres ASAP

[siopao]

I think i may be able to get a Group price of 680 SHIPPED for the Seibon CF hoods..

If anyone is interested, we should start something up.

[richbum]

so umm.. the hood.. is it gonna be stock-looking but in CF.. or is there designs.. cuz I know alot of the hoods that Seibon makes have designs on them

Yeah, it's the economics of cost and demand. The guy I spoke to was quoting prices off the top of his head for a ground up venture. I imagine the price would go down if more potential buyers were available.

My only concern about a CF hood would be safety. Is the hood considered a part of the energy absorbing crumple zone?

Btw, I got your Disneyland tickets!

[siopao]

as far as i know, the hood is made based on the OEM hood design.

these hoods are OEM style. no crazy vents or anything.

Currently i have a special going on in the Vendor Classified Section.
