Hey Guys I jumped into trying out the brand new Hood Vents for my E92 M3. They are really simple to install. My car sees more track than street so thought this was perfect add, but honestly looks awesome for street as well. Here a little DIY for the install. Finished pictures are the end. Thanks to
http://trackspecmotorsports.com/ for such great product and thanks to my buddy @[AriuSen] for telling me about them.
They come complete with instructions, template and hardware needed to install. Well here is how I understood the instruction and added my twist.

The grinder, I used to cut the frame support on the inside of the hood. The Vents are really sturdy and add reinforcement back into the hood:

The Drill (1/8'' bit), to drill the rivet holes. I added tape so I wouldn't hit the hood or the vents when drilling:
