carbon fiber by vorstiener you looking at 2k...

you can have a hood from any 3 series sedan from 02 to 05, so that will help your search.

the only part that changes a 320,325,330 hood is the grill - wether black or chrome :)

Thanks for the replies guys....it doesnt look I need to be getting parts now that the King Ding-a-Ling, who my wife hit(94 Ford ranger), wants about 2grand for his dent...Oh and also he would need a rental car when his car is in the shop....soo I think I'm going to go through my insurance and hopefully get accident forgiveness as this my wifes and mine first incident..

hopefully the rates dont jump

so it was her fault?

2k for hitting a ford ranger? my buddy has one of those, 94 ranger with a explorer engine swap (along with is jetta), but he bought it for 4 grand.

get more than one qoute or an apprasier... 2k seems odd to me

Thats what I said, but that was the quote he apparently got...he said the autobody shop he uses does "Porsches and Mercedes" so I guess they must know!!! whatever, just by his attitude I dont want to deal with it..

Yo man, sell him your hood once you put your new one on. I think he can put your facelift hood on his preface!

Should get the nice E46 GTR style hood from ViS Racing Carbon Fiber Hood I believe it's called GTR or GTO I don't remember but it looks sick.
