I know 2 guys on another local forum I'm on that do custom CF work. Lot's of overlay stuff but one of them might be able to help you make a custom piece if you're interested, or at least get you some info on it. If you're interested, shoot me a PM and I'll get you some contact info for them

I want a hood

seibon makes one already for the x5. maybe you can check with VIS and see if they make one. both of these companies are reputable. I think they are 700.00. goodluck

Go for a mile run every day and you'll lose weight and save $600.

I'm still interested if you guys want to do it. I've become obsessed with deleting weight. I should have added a poll option, one problem in getting this request together is pre and post facelift hood differences.

Correction 07-up have CF hoods available.

If you guys do this, (which I'd HIGHLY recommend against for fitment and integration of OEM parts attachment issues) please install a set of these hoodpins:

AeroCatch - Panel Fastening for the 21st Century

I had a CF hood without pins detach from the factory latch on my car and fly off at speed. That was NOT fun. On the track car I run the aerocatch pins now.

Honestly guys, the headache v. weight savings isn't worth it... if you have AAA, just remove the spare tire and tools instead. These savs are really classy and IMHO, cf hoods would be a not so good idea. But, to each their own. Good luck, and hope to hear some reports back for fitment.

I have one on my civic but I painted it and you cannot tell the difference. i dont think it will make a noticeable difference in acceleration
