G82 M4 Photoshop without raised hood Nostrils/Vents

A new hood. This is what I think this car needs. Should be a clean mod and easy to do. Someone feel free to add the M3 hood bulge to it:

I very much like the hood lines and "raised nostrils." It's interesting how we can pretty much agree on the grilles but differ so much on the hood.

It's boring without those bulges.

Prefer the hood without the cutouts too. I'm not a fan of cutouts that have no purpose; the side fender vents also bother me.

Hopefully there is a CF hood with functional cutouts down the road.

Just buy another car.... this is beaten to death. BMW has a hit on their hands and as many that hate the car design, there are two more standing in line to purchase.

So designers who earn $$$ come up with a hood design that complements the look of the grills by offering a mirror-like reflection of the grill onto the hood, then someone with photoshop "skills" comes in and messes it up

I guess some people also prefer looking at a lake and not seeing a reflection of the surrounding landscape

Why are people so defensive about a Photoshop?

Chill

I think it's not necessarily so much about that particular PS as much as it's just one more attempt after the 50 front redesigns people posted that people grew tired of. As I tell patients that want or perhaps need narcotics for their whatever problem - people before you ruined it for you.

Yeah. The post is 8 months old.
