Thoughts about this Darwinpro hood?
Thoughts good/bad about this hood from Darwinpro?
The only one I've seen with this hood is @nightfallm4 Thinking about bringing this look to LA. Paint with no exposed carbon. I think it would look sick with my engine bay setup. |

Absolutely disgusting. Keep it clean and classy, you'll find that your car ages much better that way.
Just look at the e46 and e92 m3, the best looking ones out there these days are the OEM+ ones with tasteful mods. The big diffusers and flashy rims might be trendy, but the novelty will wear off quickly

I currently have the GTS hood but I'm looking to stand out more. 99% of owners have a GTS hood and I'm starting to get bored with the look. My build is set up to be mostly show but functional. |

Again depends on your objective.
If aiming for that attention/influencer, get the hood If aiming for what (dare I say) most normal people think (probably us forum members) then don’t. Sounds like you’re going after that influencer/social media vibe... then get it. Again, regardless, it’s your car, there’s always going to be detractors and promoters... You do you boo boo |

Mod for yourself. I guess it depends on what you have under the hood. White engine cover, white CSF air cooler and polished ER charge pipes might or might not look cool exposed since you're painting the hood.

IF I do get this hood it would be replacing this hood.
But honestly I'm mostly super excited for the OLED tail lights. Comes with the harness and everything. |

update: picked up both the hood and the OLEDs.
Picked it up for a steal. I will paint it alpine white with no exposed carbon. |

Check out @nightfallm4 page as well. He was my inspiration for getting it. His build is insane. Thoughts about the hood: Personally I love the hood. It's definitely not for everybody but to me it was unique. 90% of builds has a GTS hood and foleds these days and I wanted to stand out. The CF is decent quality and the fitment was good. I say it's decent cause only the top is CF and the bottom is just black glossy material, although u can get a double sided hood if you pay extra for it. Also for some reason they block off the functional vent. I had my shop remove the part blocking the vent. I have pictures of that in my pc |
