This one is from a customer in UK, as all it does is rain there he didnt want to take any chances.

The bms filters would filter the air and aircon would take care of any condensation.

These stop any water coming in through the filters in a heavy downpour and when washing your car

Wonder if you might do a promo post with a pre-order list.

I'd like to buy a set if we can get a group buy going... $200 usd isnt that bad, especially when taking into consideration exchange rates...

Since people think these are not necessary, tell me what you think and on the plus side the cowl mod works really well of keeping the water out and none has made it to the engine in our
current wild weather.

I still think the M3 parts look better, but that’s just me.

Yeah, the price is not very pretty these days however. The necessity to run an m3 hood for a proper seal is also pretty annoying. I'd like to find a solution to that.

Each have to their own, I'm just showing if you choose to run bms filters these are very highly recommended it's a preventive to keep water out.

These covers in the latest pics are from hydra performance and they are a lot cheaper than the custom made ones I make.
They are around 99 dollars plus shipping and are made from stainless in brushed black finish.

I have a set of the Hydra ones. They do the job. No more steam out of my vents.

I’ll give you the seal against the hood supports part. I forgot about that. Just one more reason to do the M3 body panel conversion. Lol
