Fabricated 1.2mm folded and welded alloy, powder coated to match plastic trim exactly.

Vs

Brushed black folded stainless sheet metal designed for good looks, keep water out and a reasonable low price.

The expensive one is designed for the enthusiasts that are very picky to the look they want and that comes at a price

Ok I have two sets available right now in alloy and powder coated in textured black, ready for shipping $300 usd shipped

Hydra Performance brushed stainless $99 usd + shipping, contact them directly.

I also secured a carbon fibre version if someone is interested but I need min order of 3 with deposit of 50% #300 usd shipped and will take around 4 to 6 weeks it will be the same
as the factory carbon fibre of 2x2 3k weave.


Really want to give you guys lots of options here or if you have a custom order I can make that possibly happen.

Marty. Did you ever post a template for how you cut your cowl? Also haven't had any luck sourcing a new gasket. Do you know the part number by any chance?

No never posted a template, which gasket are you referring to as we use the bms filters to seal any gaps as they are made of rubber and make a perfect seal.

because the bonnet is so close to the filters, water cant really get in but they fit if you want them and look quite nice too.

So I have a chance to secure a big discount on these but can only get it done when done in volume

Normal price is 300 USD shipped

Min order is 10 250 USD shipped anywhere in the world

11 to 20 is 225 USD shipped anywhere in the world.

21+ will be 199 USD shipped anywhere in the world.

Once the preorder list is finished and final price decided I'll need 50% up front to get them made
to make sure all are legitimate buyers.

I'm going to be upfront these are a must on 135/1M but really not necessary for 335's as the filters
sit so close to the bonnet and are mainly for cosmetic purposes.

Also if you run or want to run a standard cowl and not remove the filter all the time as it wears out the
cowl filter holes thus strips the plastic threads, this is a great alternative to keep water out until you finish all your mods
and not have to worry about water getting in.

it also looks great and is functional, I do understand its not for everyone and there is alternatives but others including
myself prefer this setup and if you feel you too want some put your name down.

Another pro of this setup is cooler running temps as most have experienced with the moded cowl or no cowl and bms filters.

You can easily mod your cowl as in my pics and as you can see it still diverts water away from the engine, but best is to leave
engine cover on if you live where it rains a lot.

No money will be asked for until the preorder list is done.

What is the clearance between the hood and the covers?

I can't seem to copy the video but I can post a link to a video on Facebook for the ones that think you don't need these covers on BMS filters.
