Is the non M hood heavier than the M one?

Although it does not have the raised contours of the M hood there is a FG hood out there

Anyone know when these vents will be available? There's a spot on his website for them, but no product listed.

Any pics of these installed from beneath the hood? How is the structural integrity of the hood after install?

I looked at these for my Z4 and water (from rain) would get onto my alternator, headers, etc. Too bad they don't sell drip pans for these

Honestly I never had any issues even when washing my car.

Perfect, gives me some ideas. Seems you tried to keep as much of the hood support structure in tact (which is my biggest worry). Thanks.

Does anyone have more pictures of these for installation and running? How do these sit on top of the motor with regards to exposing electrical components to rain etc.

Electrical components under your hood are sealed from water intrusion, so wouldn't worry too much about that.

It looks like these should clear fine as they don't go lower than the inner skin on the hood.
