Hoods
Looking to shed weight or improve cooling? An aftermarket hood is one of the most impactful upgrades for both performance and track-side aesthetics. Whether you need the aggressive venting of a GTS style or the weight savings of premium carbon fiber, we have the perfect fit for your build. Use our Vehicle Selector to find hoods compatible with your specific BMW chassis, or contact our body-styling experts for advice on fitment and finishing.
Transform your vehicle's front-end profile and thermal management with our BMW Hoods collection. A performance hood is more than just a styling statement; it is a functional component designed to reduce under-hood temperatures and shave significant weight from the front axle. This collection features precision-engineered hoods for E, F, and G chassis models, ranging from OEM-plus aluminum replacements to motorsport-grade carbon fiber.
We offer the most sought-after designs in the BMW community, including the iconic GTS and CS styles. These hoods feature functional integrated venting that allows hot air to escape from the radiator and engine bay, preventing heat soak during spirited driving or track sessions. Each hood is crafted to maintain factory-like gap fitment while providing a much more aggressive, muscular "power dome" appearance.

Frequently Asked Question
Do I need to use hood pins with a carbon fiber hood?
For any lightweight aftermarket hood, hood pins or AeroCatch latches are highly recommended, especially for track use or high-speed driving. While most of our hoods utilize the factory latching mechanism, composite materials can be more susceptible to wind lift than heavy steel. Hood pins provide a vital secondary safety measure to ensure the hood remains securely fastened under extreme aerodynamic pressure.
