Does anyone know if they make a nice custom hood for the 3rd gens? This, a grill, and ground effects are the last cosmetic upgrades I want. Though, I can't find a hood anywhere and the ground effects are hard to find, the new one is nice though!

I want a hood for mine to, but hanent been able to find one. I'll probably take a decent scoop and mold it into my hood. Something that I can turn into a funtional ram air. I think the Max's will look nice with a custom hood since our hoods are so long.



92GXE, touring wing, 18” racing wheels, Port&Polished intake, custom intake, custom yellow interior, racing seats, back seats taken out and replaced with subs and amps, NOS kit, Suspension tech. Lowering springs, custom grille, soon to be custom painted and have the whole engine rebuilt for big shot NOS and custom SC and tranny converted to 5-speed.

Yeah, the hoods are long! I thought the same thing, just order something and mold it on. I want it mostly to help cool the engine and looks. I'm relocating my intake to behind the front bumper.

I want something like a Cobra R ram air style on mine. They have a cowl style look with two funtional ram air holes on the top. I think they look awsome. I'm not sure what it would look like on our Max but I want to give it a try.

I don't know if it's new, but everyone was talking about it. The Kaminari ground effects. Looks like the most aggressive front so far, which is sad! I'd like to see a Shogan Front end, Yeahhhhh!!!!

That kit is real ugly on the back though. I may buy that front end and pair it with the rest of the stillen kit. I think it may look nice. Dont know how the front dam and side skirts will match up though. Kaminari adds a little flare around the fender in their kit.
