BMW M3 E90/E92 Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Vented Hood

For BMW M3 E90/E92/E93 (2007-2013), this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Vented Hood offers a refined functional vent profile that extracts heat without the GTR or GTS aggression. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance.

The S65B40 4.0L V8 NA (414 hp) — the last naturally aspirated M3 — generates significant engine-bay heat at high RPM. This generic vented hood provides motorsport airflow with cleaner styling.

Key Features

• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure — a more consistent weave.
• Refined Vent Profile: Functional outlets with cleaner styling than GTR/GTS.
• Lightweight: Noticeably lighter than the OEM steel hood.
• OEM Mounting: Direct bolt-on to factory hinges.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: High-gloss UV-protective clear resin.

Prepreg Dry Carbon vs. Wet Carbon

Prepreg carbon is autoclave-cured → a more consistent weave, a controlled resin ratio, the production method widely chosen in motorsport.
