    M3 Look hood that fits the 2004 E46 Sedan

    I big dodge pickup recently smashed in to the front of my '04 E46 Sedan and crumpled up the hood. Insurance wanted to put an after market hood on it so I got them to pay me out and decided to do it myself. I love the "power bump" style of the M3 hood but after days of online searching I keep running into dead ends. Want to stay away from carbon fiber if I can because I don't want the racecar look, just clean white, and classy. If anyone knows a custom shop please post a link, or if there is already I good thread please post that link. I've tried to read as many as I can but most are about the 99-01...I need the 2004 4DR E46. Thanks.

    Paint the carbon fiber or cut out they buldge from an m3 and weld it onto a sedan hood

    Certainly one option. I'd prefer to buy it outright if at all possible.

    I would prefer a metal hood because I don't want to use pins to hold it down. Also not excited about all the wild vents on the hoods I found that will fit it. Any 02-05 e46 4dr owners out there had any luck?

    These "white" hoods your talking about, are fiberglass and will need the same treatment as CF

    You dont necessarily need hood pins if you get a quality hood and use the proper hood struts.

    I didn't use pins on my vorsteiner carbonfiber hood.
