The hood looks great!

FRANCO · 11-01-2009, 09:22 PM

That looks like the hood from GTA 4 on the M3 (or Sentinel that's suppose to be the M3)

B.G. · 11-01-2009, 09:27 PM

Car looks proper man.. Job well done

simsima325 · 11-01-2009, 11:02 PM

i was expecting this to look horrible, but i like it, nice work

johnhk79 · 11-02-2009, 12:03 AM

hood looks great.. but dare i say.. i wish the power dome was a bit more aggressive. lol i have a 10 lbs Flossman hood and haven't had issues with it flopping around and potentially flying off.. i cannot imagine your's doing the same unless it isn't structurally sound/made cheaply.

ok it does not look terrible by any means. but it looks like a snout and wiskers. for the money spent i would have expected it to look much better than the oem M3 hood which in my humble opinion doesn't.
this must just be me as everyone else seems to post how they like it. love your car otherwise.

I actually think I like the vents on this better than any other hood (the hard lines seem to match better than the soft, rounded lines that every other hood seems to have) but I'm not sure I care for the inverted bulge either.

xPhantom · 11-02-2009, 03:56 AM

very nice! although i do wish the bulge still came up instead of going down.

pimpn04coupe · 11-02-2009, 04:45 AM

the hood looks good, but it doesn't flow with the rest of your clean, subtle mods. The hoods lines are very squared off, and is very aggressive... just my opinion tho

Wow i just realized you dont have your e46 anymore

4mused · 11-02-2009, 05:28 AM

E46 M3 is a little too boxy for a inverted bulge. Would've looked better bulged out.

615bimmerboy · 11-02-2009, 12:38 PM

very hot, car looks great!

Sledgehammer RTI · 11-02-2009, 05:50 PM

Sick car

Waiting for the response on the PM btw

jurrian @ eas · 11-02-2009, 07:48 PM

Wanna switch cars now? lol

Goondaddy · 11-03-2009, 06:14 AM

In my personal opinion, I think the hood is a bit much in relation to the rest of the car's appearance. The current wheels are too understated to match the "wild" hood. To match, either a stock hood would be better, or a set of more aggressive, bigger wheels are required for the hood to compliment the rest of the car. Either way it still looks good, I just think it can be better!

HPFMTRE · 11-05-2009, 12:58 AM

Some interesting comments. most like it some think its too much. i dont know i think the angles make a difference. here is a rolling shot from SEMA maybe it will help a little. Thanks for the opinions though ill post some more this weekend.
EDIT: you guys think i should put both angel eyes in or just leave it the way it is? lol
