3D PRINTED BMW PARTS! // Fixing The Carbon Hood Gap

[@nickleung6240]

Dude. That went from "I would never run that hood with that fitment" to fitment looks fan-fu*kin-tastic!! Well done man! Something so simple, yet so impactful. Side note, really enjoy your content. Thank you for sharing!

[@Samstrex]

I have the same exact problem on my Subaru Impreza and had a similar idea of using washers to raise the bumper to line up with the hood. Really glad to see that someone out there did something very similar and had great results. Thanks!

[@OutfoxedYa]

Well done, great fix 👍🏻 That gap would have driven me crazy. Made me laugh when you say you bought the 3D printer a couple of years ago ‘but not sure why’, I can relate as I’ve bought many gadgets in my time without rhyme or reason, just cause they’re cool and in the hope I find a use for them one day 😂

[@simeongutsman4714]

Dude this is amazing! I 3d print for a living so this made me psyched to see

[@Uhhhrandomna]

Thanks for this! Great idea that could really be applied to a lot of different cars.

[@Gator115]

huge difference wow, way sleeker now

[@raulsebastian9306]

this is an absolutely genious idea, i have quite similar problem to my F32, but i hope to solve it this way

[@mathewreyes3251]

damn this is actually fucking sick, you should be proud of yourself honestly. really innovative bro

[@MrBenzNYC]

Thank you!

[@producerlawson]

Would love to know the thread pitch/diameter specs for the bolts you picked up. BMW reference the main 6 as M6x20 but the M6 bolts I picked up don't thread correctly. I presume the two smaller ones that go into the headlights are just plain self tappers? Thank you!

[@Bemaritohtori]

[@nycsosa]

Congrats @jdcars .. it’s ur car so don’t mind the antagonist... they always seems to find what’s wrong and not what’s right.

[@tomaspiscicelli3288]

Finally, that gap was really annoying

[@tjruff84]

Have any problems with water in the engine bay

[@BalwinderSingh-gs3of]

👍 really helped

[@JDCarsChannel]

I'm glad!

[@olirelf8056]

Do you have the design for those 3d printed parts - having same issue.

[@eslanek785]

That gap is because the bumper foam was compressed, it is easier to add some foam in the area of ​​the beam

[@spussego]

that front hood gap was one of the worst things about the Seibon carbon fiber hoods..... those Nylon spaces you printed up should be included with the hood in my opinion.... also instead of the washers you could just add about 1-1.5 more millimeters to each spacer and it would be perfect.....

[@JDCarsChannel]

I totally agree! 100% they should be included. Should we print sets and offer on our website?

[@mackeal17]

whats the website cause yeah bro I need these. I'm using stacked washers for this right now lmao

[@newtechunboxing]

Do wide body on it and wrap the car love the videos by the way

[@skillz1855]

You do realise the bolts right behind the bumper bolts you took off are for that reason right. Those spacers aren't needed

[@godfroid47]

Kudos

[@filipwennergren2712]

[@mrbrainchild7637]

[@JDCarsChannel]

Is there any adjustability in the headlight mounting?

[@528hrtz]
