Yes, direct z4M fitment/replacement. All OE rad related components mount directly to rad & all mount point dims are the same; Also uses OE style hose connections, so no new hoses required. Had trim some of the OE plastic related to the fan mounting system due to aluminum welds being fatter than OE. Had to trim very little

0042 VRS Cooling Bonnet Installation Took my time on this one to get it right. Overall very smooth installation. I would rate fitment 9.9 out of 10. Best fitting carbon piece I have installed on any car. Not 10 out 10 only due to a minor flat spot along the nose of the hood. Hard to detect, but should be corrected when I go in for paint. Sort of shocked at how well everything fit really. I was expecting to have to massage the installation a bit as I have seen this with others. Either I got lucky, or VRS put some extra love/time into this piece Seeing it on the car in raw carbon is very cool. Ultimately I will be painting, so I took a bunch pictures to capture the look Pros:

MANNN it looks so good in the carbon!! id be tempted to leave it like this!! The vents must make a huge difference to underhood temps!!

JM2C, but I would be painting, if it were mine.
I would have the vents masked and leave as CF accents.

Chris, couple of question about the hood mate if thats ok?
This is the Carbon hood right? or the VSDC? is it completely dry carbon, or just underneath the hood as the top of the hood (looks like) it has a clear coat on it? or did you/can you get them to clear coat it before shipping? Once again mate, looks GREAT!!

This is the VSDC hood. Sort of funny, but literally stands for Varis Some Dry Carbon I believe "dry carbon" is a manufacturing process that yields the best weight/strength (not always matte finish). All surfaces of the VSDC hood are shiny from the Varis clear gel coat finish. Varis recommends using automotive clear coat on top of their gel coating for UV protection so the product doesn't yellow Varis won't add clear coat, but Bulletproof offered the service to me before I picked the parts up. I only declined because I was planning to paint before adding clear coat Hope that helps!

I've been meaning to ask, was the Rogue strut bar special order? I believe they removed the E85/6 application off their site a couple years back so was surprised to see you had a brand new one here. Either that, or perhaps you've had it for a bit now?
I'm in the paint + carbon vents camp

cant stop coming back here for a sneaky viewing of these varis parts.
love how this car is coming together and LOVE LOVE this platform. So glad I've kept my car with me from day one , at 13k miles, ( yes needs more use lol) it feels like a special thing to own! These varis parts would REALLY look nice on my Ti silver / black theme . I actually ordered one of these Hood years back and it arrived on uk shores so badly damaged the tuner refunded me without me even seeing the hood i the flesh but i still have the images sent via sumo racing. ( one corner snapped clean off) , i ordered the FRP / Carbon one... theirs actually a post on it years back. I had abit more disposable cash back then. I wonder if i went again if id have better luck this time??

We seem to both be taking on some serious projects here, its a shame you're out on the west coast. Would be fantastic to kick the tires and trade ideas. Car is looking fantastic!
