Help with installing CF hood for e90
Ok, I'm just about to buy the Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Vented Racing Hood for my car but didn't know how to install it. I looked online and didn't find anything and was wondering if anybody here knew a website that had a tutorial on how to do it.
Thanks |

It should be rather straight forward. You have to remove the hood shocks by using a flat head screw driver to pop out the metal retaining clip on the part that attaches to the hood. The hinge then detaches with either 8 or 10mm bolts at the top and bottom. You can then slide off the old hood and slide on the new one.

You might also want to order some E46 M3 hood shocks so that you don't have to use a broom stick to prop the hood open.
