So I was in a small fender bender last week. The person reversed into me and now her insurance is going to have to replace the front hood and bumper.

I was planning to ditch the OEM hood and go with aftermarket. My first plan was to get DD hood but they have the 6 - 8 week wait. So I decided to look around. Any recommendations are appreciated, I have e92 328xi coupe jet black 2008 pre-lci.

I was looking at this hood made by Extreme Dimensions. http://extremedimensions.com/07-12-E92-2DR-AF2-H.html
The renders and pics make it look similar to the newer M3 hoods. It would be painted Jet black. Anyone have experience with these products and their fitment/quality? The price is not a big deal since Extreme Power house has a discount on it for around $500+ not including shipping also I'm not paying for it hopefully. I was looking for something subtle and not too flashy with vents all over but something similar to the Dukes D2 hood would of been nice but the prices is way high.

All opinions will be taken!

+1 that would be your best looking and fitting option.

I just got screwed by DD, so even though they have some of the best looking products I can't recommend them for anything...

Can you tell us more?

If DD makes their hoods like their diffusers, stay away. Unresponsive customer support making some people wait 9-12 weeks. And then on top of that, the fitment is hit or miss. Lot of people having fitment issues in the past.

I ordered something on December 30, 2014 and had to file paypal dispute May 5, 2015 as I still hadnt received anything. Everytime I spoke with DD (which is one out of every 10 calls), I was told 2 more weeks. Quite disappointing as they have the best looking stuff. Still have no refund. so I'm out $700

Sucks because they have such nice products. That crappy service is such a turn off.

Right now I still have time to decide on what hood to get. I was really leaning for the Aero Function AF-2 Hood. Is any one familiar with their quality? I like the way it looks in CF but will most likely paint it black since I want to stay away from the fiberglass one. I do like the seibon hoods but most have either a lot of vents or just the oem look.

This is the AF-2 hood and they seem to be very confident on fitment and quality with warranty back up and reply very quickly on issues. Most likely will be buying through Mike at x-ph.
Unless someone can suggest another brand with similar look (the dome etc)



Hopefully someone that has purchased an AF product can chime in.

Edit: Seems like Vorsteiner has a similar product as a Power dome hood in carbon fiber. But I can't seem to find a dealer for it and cost. Saw some threads.

Paypal didn't get you your money back? I know they upped the amount of time you have to open a dispute to 6 months.

What brand is that? is that the visracing carbon fiber one? I'm looking for a hood, thinking about AF-2 or the Vis Racing part number 07BME922DM3-010C one?

So you got an extremely aggressive hood to match your nonmsport and nonlowered car..
