    Well I have the Vorsteiner one without the E92 vents. It's not that much of a difference really. But it does cool down a bit faster when the car is off. The only thing I hate about vents is that I have to tape them in the rain. Because all the water runs towards the back of the headlight which I have not waterproofed yet (cause lazy). I tried not taping it once. Headlight turned off

    Wonder if you can if you can build a channel under the hood area for that.

    The hood in my opinion has helped quite a bit with the heat. My M3 has survived three really Hot summers out here and NO SMG issues to date and I have 133k on my car. When you daily drive a SMG M3 in 120 heat you are constantly monitoring coolant temps. My car stays under 208 even on those Hot days. While sitting at stop lights you can see the heat pouring out of those two smaller vents. I did modify the panel underneath to allow more air flow and I do not have any issues when it rains. Plus you can see some engine bling.

    I thought about it, but it would then get in the way of the heat dissipation. There's not much room anyways. The water hits the washer reservoir or intake and jumps the tiny gap and into the back of the headlights. But I see that these hoods have closed vents except for the that E92 one so there should be no problem whatsoever with water.

    I didn't realize that the front vents on these hoods are closed. That's probably why you don't have any problems with rain lol Mines open, I can't wash my car without taping them.

    There’s a panel under the hood that covers them and redirects the water/air flow.

    Ah I see. that's pretty cool. That was what I tried to do. But on the drivers side, half the water dumps into my alternator. Also, it wouldn't stay up without drilling into my hood. I always wanted to make a rain cover that goes over the top of the hood. But I would have to tape that down too so I never got around to it.

    Tonight I finished sorting my front bumper, adjusted my LED fogs and installed my Hamman fog covers. To my relief, they all fit perfectly.

    Pictures were taken using my iPhone (I'll get better quality pics over the weekend)









    After getting everything put together, I ran my M3 around the block to make sure I got all the fluids circulating throughout the motor/tranny and diff. Man my M3 felt and sounded good

    I like the hood mod. Fogs look good
