BMW M3 E90/E92 Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber GTR Vented Hood

For BMW M3 E90/E92/E93 (2007-2013), this GTR-styled Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Vented Hood replaces the factory steel hood with aggressive M3 GTR-inspired channels and venting. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance.

The aggressive GTR vents help extract heat from the engine bay of the S65B40 4.0L V8 NA 414 hp — and visually amplify the character of the last naturally aspirated M3. One of three vented hood variants (GTR / GTS / generic).

Key Features

• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure — a more consistent weave.
• GTR Vent Channels: Aggressive inlet geometry inspired by M3 GTR race aero; aids engine-bay heat extraction.
• Lightweight: Noticeably lighter than the OEM steel hood — reduces front-axle weight.
• OEM Mounting: Bolts directly to factory hinges — no cutting or drilling.
• 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.
