Does anyone have this hood?

funkedelic · 04-30-2010, 01:43 PM

I can't seem to find more pictures of this Seibon hood..

Does anybody have this installed on their car? If so please share, i would love to see how it looks and would like to know how the fitment is on these.

I am looking for a hood that is as close to possible to the actual OEM M3 hood. I haven't found a single one that is a perfect replica yet. I have seen many of these..

and even some of these..

Their close but none of them really have the same vents or the same dome as the original.. (Which i can't have unless i change my front bumper and fenders)

If anyone knows of any other M3 replica hoods please name the vendor and post pics! Thanks!

I don't have it but traditionally people stay away from Seibon due to the poor fitment and poor quality.

Not that that information helps you at all.

Agreed, stay away from Seibon/VIS...horrible fit/finish from our experience.

+1 And that kit you're looking at is poly urethane, which is crappy.

there's probably more tolerance in fitting a lip, grill and fender grill than there is for a hood

Wow I had no idea that it was so bad. The last thing I want is a poor fitting hood on my car. That's problaby why I haven't seen anybody with then on their cars.
