You can get a different concept hood protector. ipd.com sells a thick clear plastic tape you can put on the front of your hood. If you don't want to do it yourself, BMW dealers will install a similar product on the hood, door edges, mirrors etc. Tucker Muck wrote: > This may be an off the wall question...but here goes. > > I just bought a 2003 9-3 with a trade of our 2001 9-5 Wagon.
