I had it both on my F30 as well as my F80. They fit without any issues. I got mine from ABS auto body.

There's no doubt the OEM GTS hood is a superior product. It's just the fact that some of us have budgets. $5K+ OEM vs ~$1K aftermarket aluminum. I do think the OEM one with the right prep + paint + install looks perfect. However a good aftermarket one is within ~10% of perfect to me. I personally couldn't justify spending 5x the price though. I was also quoted $600-700 to PPF it afterwards. With a CF hood, I think PPF is a must after spending a premium price for a premium product.

On top of OEM quality enjoyed, you'll get a good chunk of your money back when time comes to sell and it'll be an ez transaction since so few do it right the first time.
