Hoods GBT

Aluminum and steel hoods come unpainted and are painted to match the body color: some are already primed, while others require priming — this is indicated in the product specifications. Carbon hoods are bought for the carbon fiber pattern, so they are usually not painted.

Hoods are made to match the geometry of a specific body and mount on the factory hinges and latch. Before painting, the hood should be test-fitted, and the gaps with the fenders, headlights, and bumper are set by a body shop specialist. Installation is also available at the DD Tuning network of certified service centers — the manager will suggest the nearest one.

The kit includes the hood itself. The hinges, latch, seals, and insulation are transferred from the factory hood; for example, the aluminum hood for Mercedes GLS X166 is supplied without insulation.

These are different hood design options for the same body. Sometimes the version also differs in material: for BMW X5 G05 and X6 G06, the V3 version is made of forged carbon, while for BMW 5 Series G30, the same F90-style hood is available in both regular and forged carbon.

Check the make, model, and years in the product name: for pre-facelift and facelift versions, different hoods are often available. If the year is transitional or the body has already been modified, send the manager the year, version, and VIN — compatibility will be checked for the specific car.
