{"product_id":"carbon-vented-hood-2","title":"Carbon Vented Hood","description":"The Alpha-N G87 M2 Carbon Vented Hood brings motorsport-inspired engineering to the BMW G87 M2, enhancing both performance and aesthetics. Developed by Alpha-N, a German specialist with deep ties to BMW motorsport, this hood is crafted from premium Italian pre-preg carbon fiber with a 2x2 twill weave and Kevlar reinforcement for added rigidity and strength.\n\nThe design incorporates a functional, full-width heat extraction vent positioned directly over the radiator. This strategic placement allows hot air to escape the engine bay efficiently, reducing heat soak and supporting optimal performance of the cooling system, especially during demanding driving conditions. When paired with optional Alpha-N carbon front grille components, the thermal management capabilities are further enhanced.\n\nWeighing approximately 19 lbs, this carbon vented hood offers a weight saving of about 7.5 lbs compared to the stock hood. Alpha-N's manufacturing process emphasizes strength and minimal weight, avoiding heavy fillers or excessive resin layers. The hood is supplied in a raw carbon finish, intended for professional preparation and paint by a body shop to achieve the best final appearance and ensure structural integrity.\n\nThis hood is designed for the BMW G87 M2 and the G42 2-Series. It is noted that Alpha-N raw carbon body panels prioritize strength and minimal weight, and therefore do not include cosmetic fillers or heavy resin layers. Professional body preparation and installation are strongly recommended, and minor adjustments may be required due to normal vehicle manufacturing tolerances. This is considered a motorsport\/export component, and customers are responsible for verifying road legality in their region.","brand":"Alpha-N","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52686888730936,"sku":"AN-0301","price":4200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/662148249.webp?v=1784878081","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/carbon-vented-hood-2","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
