Ohh... a early Christmas Present

Got from Mini Mania [edit] for $99

Looks great as contrasts the white nicely...IMHO

That looks really nice. Did you find that on Mini-Madness's site? I can't find any scoop for $99, maybe I'll have to go over there during lunch tomorrow

You inspired me to buy one for my Dark Silver...

within 5 minutes, I had my credit card out, feverishly punching in the digits.

How hard was install? Good quality?

I only this ask after purchasing because I figure I could ebay it if I don't like it!

Very easy to install..4 nuts..2 are hidden under a plastic strip..just pull gently. Dont lose the nuts when loosening.

As for quality it is very nice...but not "perfect". However note the entire unit is NOT carbon fiber..just what you see with the hood closed is. The underside is plastic. But man for the price...dont think you can beat it.

Great!

After ordering, I was REALLY hoping I didn't mistake it for a "cover"... good to know!

With some red mirror covers and different wheels, I'd look a bit JCW'ish.

Just installed mine tonight. Took a little longer than expected- Ohio road salt makes loosening rusted on bolts fun. Overall, decent quality. Mine is a bit wavy, though. For 100 bucks, I'm satisfied. I hope to post pictures of it soon!

Agree on the wavy part..not "perfect" but like you said for 300% less...a good price.
