Finishing up the X3M front lip next week then I'll be fully focused on the hood. Going to do a run of 10x to start in 2x2 gloss outer with a kevlar inner. Power dome and no vents

With the power dome design do you think you will gain a little more clearance between the bottom side of the hood and the engine on an OG M2?

Will be available painted, right?

Thanks!

I'm not interested. The vents look dumb and the plastic will fade terribly in the sun.

FYI - I found someone on Instagram who sells an all Alumin GTS hood for the M2. He's overseas so the shipping is almost the same cost for the hood so I've been waiting to see if someone on this side would do the same. Username is oiocar_com.

I like the GTS hood. Understated and aggressive. I would definitely get one if available.

Have you made any progress?? How much longer before the public can purchase one? So you have decided to make design A one with vents and another without vents??

Progress??

I have the MPE CF hood, fully painted HS, then had it wrapped in Xpel for protection.
From your designs I would pick A with a tad smaller louvres.

What the hood does to your car:
Look/Feel/Smell 10/10
Panel Gaps 10/10
Awesomeness of the power dome 11/10
