    Hood Vents

    I’ve seen a couple e38 with what’s look like either e36 or e46 hood vents. Not sure about reposting someone else’s image but I could find it again at show people.

    Anyone else done hood vents? What fits well? Not worried about functionality to be truthful just like the style. Any input or advice? I’ve seen a couple different vents online for e36, e39, and e46 not sure which way to go

    What you referring to? Two grills on the front of a hood?

    I presume this would be on the top. Keep in mind that the stock set up forces air down the sides of the engine, its exhausts and the gearbox. That's what the underfloor panels are for, and are referred to as 'ducting' in the parts manual.

    What is an e39 ‘gtr?’ I would assume you might have to replace the hood in order to get what you want. All stock e38 hoods are solid, so a full aftermarket hood replacement may be needed.
