    Hood Vent Question

    Good Day All:


    Does anyone know where to source a carbon fiber or at least carbon fiber appearing hood vent to replace the stock vent part 51132694723 on an E46 M3.

    I bought one from ebay that was carbon fiber over ABS plastic. It lasted about a month before separating, so you can give that a try.

    FYI I ended up just going back to stock and using some ceramic coating to make it black again.
