Carbon Fiber E92 M3 Hood Vents

rdvs-can · 12-10-2010, 05:10 PM

To all:

I have done a fair bit of work looking for some good quality CF Hood vents. After going through the various posts it seems that they main guys to get them from are:

**********s for approx $100.00 a set;
PYSpeed for apprx $200.00 or
Jlevi for apprx $200.00 a set

This, I think is a substantial difference in pricing. Has anyone picked up either set and/or seen both to know if the difference is in the final product or what?

Christmas is coming.

Also another thought I've checked into CF rear diffusers and have come up with two options; A. Arkym or B. VRS. Both are around the same price at $650.00

Any input suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I got a set from JLevi and returned them as they did not fit very well and got a refund.

I got my current set from JBSEED and love the fit, finish and quality. I highly recommend them.

I personally would get the vents from eric. He sells very good quality stuff. I think there's a price difference because of the quality. remember, you pay for what you get. I personally would not get it from **********s.

As far as the rear diffuser, its Arkym all the way. THe quality is great and the part looks good. Maybe you can get a combo deal from Eric since he'll be able to sell you both. You'll probably save on shipping as well

IND is comes highly recommended, with the customer service to back it up.

Look, that **********s give the price of standard vents or grilles, if You add the carbon option, the price is very similiar like the others dealers.
