Good luck on the search, its a hard mod to find, Ive been looking for almost a year and have found very few. The ones i have found, either are damaged or go very quickly.

I contacted Prior Design Germany and they have a power domed e60 hood made from fibreglass and duraflex. Anyone have any experience with this material?

I think its similar to what Vorsteiner do. They also put a layer of CF over fiberglass. So the hood is not really CF and you don't save off much weight.

I believe the Manhart Racing hood will be real CF and extremely lightweight. I have a custom built boot lid from Manhart Racing and I think it weighs about 3kg.

In addition, the fitment accuracy is no less than 99%.

My Vorsteiner hood has a fitment accuracy of about 50%. Its absolutely horrible. I will never buy anything from them.

Good Luck!

Good luck finding a shop to make a replica, it took me over a year to get mine.

Hasan must have got a bad one as mine is a pretty good fit.
