Premium GTR-style vented carbon-fiber hood for the 2001–2005 BMW E46 M3. Seibon hand-lays a 3K 2x2 twill carbon-fiber outer skin over a reinforced fiberglass skeleton, then finishes it in a gloss UV-resistant clear coat. The GTR-inspired vent layout adds an aggressive motorsport appearance while reducing weight compared with the original steel hood.
