ARMA SPEED BMW M2 CF Hood

Anyone have experience with this hood? Would like to know about overall quality and fit. Looking at the pictures on X-PH website, there appears to be some fit issues with hood to bumper cover.

Slightly wider gap, but I love it. Hood pins to satisfy regulations at the track

Thanks for the info. I can see slightly wider gaps, would you say they are uniform? Was a lot of adjustment required or was it a simple bolt on?

What is the thought behind hood pins for track? Why would this be more likely to open than metal/OEM hood?

Final question - is there a grille or something covering the air exit on top?

Thanks again!

The gap is pretty uniform all around, but it's not as noticeable IRL. The hood is extremely light, so the possibility of a hood latch failure or even air pressure causing the hood to fly off at speed on track can happen. That's why the hood pin mandate. There is a mesh over the opening, but there is also a tray under preventing water contamination.
