This hood vent is UNIVERSAL but was designed with the E36 in mind and thus flows with the lines of the factory hood of both the coupe and sedan / compact E36 chassis. This hood vent fits the E46 very well and can be used on most cars. Fitment is not guaranteed for other cars, as with any universal part, but plausible. Please ask for measurements to be sure.
Not only does this vent follow the lines of the hood, but it also does its best to follow the curvature of the hood too. Other vents on the market are made to be completely flat pieces that you then have to force down onto your hood when install.
Vent holes come open, mounting holes are pre-drilled, edges are trimmed and all vents are clear coated and polished. Avoiding any additional costs you might have had to pay before.
When installing this hood vent, you'll find indents for hardware running along the edges of the vent for M6 hardware. With these indents you won't have an unpleasant flap along the edges like other vents on the market and you do not have to worry about drilling any holes yourself.
These NEW vents are made of CARBON FIBER.
The previous version of this hood vent was offered in fiberglass.
