Hey Maxima friends, I am new to forums so I hope I am doing this right. Does anyone know where I can buy either this specific hood or the black components for the hood? I'm not sure what they are used for either.

Thanks!

I can't help with locating the parts, but I can answer to what they do.
They add at least 20wHp each and when combined together do a total 50wHp.
Now, for the best part, if you buy them in a combo package with red R sticker
(Make sure its red, cause the color matters), you just got a combined total
of extra 70wHp.

Ok I'm not a fan of your sarcastic comment. I'm actually trying to find out what they do or where I can get them. And since you didn't answer what they do or where I can get them then there is no need for you to comment.

Thanks.

oh man, since you did not understand my sarcastic comment, let me spell it out for you:

they do absolutely nothing, other than create wind resistance and possible noise that comes with that.

They are GTR hood vents, also called NACA ducts, and would be to bring cold air to the intakes if they were functional.

Ok because I do have an aftermarket intake under the hood. That makes sense now, because I'm looking for functionality and style to so thank you!

They won't function for you.
They aren't in the right spot, and it would require cutting substantial holes in your hood.

I do not think he cares, He is going for looks not power.. Unless he really believes it will give him more cold air? But cutting in to the hood I would not do it. Well to each there own

I understand that yeah there is literally no increase in HP just by adding them in there. If there is any cold air being drawn in, it won't even have the slightest increase if any for hp gain. Yes I'm going more for looks.
