I think it might have to be a 4DR hood. Pretty sure. Did you find a good deal on one? __________________

My Carbon Fiber hood from Ground Dynamics should
be here around Wed! Cant wait. I got the OEM hood
rather than the Euro one with all the gay scoops. | | | | | 05-05-2006, 10:36 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Marin County & Santa Cruz Posts: 116 |
How much did you end up getting it for, and from where? I need a new hood too. | | | | | 05-08-2006, 09:26 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Norfolk, Virginia Posts: 289 |
I acctually ended up not getting it, it would of been $850
from Ground Dynamics, but they screwed up the shipping,
and lied about having it in stock so I got my money back. __________________ _____________________________________________

i figured instead of starting a new thread, i will ask here. so all 4dr 328 hoods that are the same year will fit our cars? wounder why they never tell us that on our websites. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33646 seems cheap, its VIS. i heard alot of bad from the company, but also alot of good. to prevent fading, can you just clearcoat it a few times? i am just looking for a cheap one. also, i found a new one that has an imperfection for $380 shipped on a website, fits 4dr e36, 92 - 98. just want to make sure before i go to far into it. haha. also, i know you do not use the old shocks, and then use hoodpins, right? so bascily just remove everything, latch, springs, shocks? any info would be awesome. i might be fixing up a car with a messed up hood, and this would be cheaper and better then replacing the hood. haha. __________________ Check out our new website! https://soltechsolutionsllc.com/

all E36 sedans and the ti use the same hood regardless of year, only reason it's not on most websites is because they may not even know the ti exists  I don't know about VIS, but I know Carbon8 hoods have the holes drilled in them for the hood latches, my car has perfectly functioning hood latches. I do have to disconnect the shocks when I close the hood to prevent it from bending the hood, but I left them installed since I use them as hood props

I have a VIS, got it blemished for 350(picked up) it had the required hardware to just reinstall the latches and such. I left the shocks connected, but I am thinking about removing them because they are starting to make the hood fold a little, but overall, the fitment is nice. of course its the sedan hood... I tried to match up my old m3 coupe hood just to see, and its much different. | | | | | 10-05-2010, 11:08 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Bethlehem, PA Posts: 1,106 |
does anyone know the legal point of view for using carbon fiber hoods? since it changes how the car crumbles together, it might not be legal? it seems to be in the gray area, but not sure. i was just wondering. tried to google it, but no one said for sure. __________________ Check out our new website! https://soltechsolutionsllc.com/

the hood's not structural, there's nothing illegal about running one | | | | | |
