Same thing with the chrome trim on the grill. Is there any other chrome trim on the car? If so, leave it on the grill. If not, delete it.

I thought they were made to save weight? But now that you mention it, all of the BMW's I see with cf hoods do have louvers. I always thought that louvers were to help evacuate heat, not really anything to do with the cf construction.

I really like how it looks with the red line and chrome strip blacked out. If you're considering CF overlay, I say skip that idea and just paint the hood gloss black instead so it matches better with your roof. Make sure to extend the red stripe to include the roof and little trunk area as well, but paint the trunk piece gloss black so it flows from front to back.

whether wrapped or just a straight cf hood, i doubt it will make much of a difference performance wise anyways, itll be like a guy who is 20 pounds heavier than me driving my car lol
