just to see what yall think still workin on it

 

 

Hahaha give him a chance

Nice. does it serve a purpose or are you going for looks?

 

Vg maxima. Better be turbo charging that motor or that hoods a fail lmfao

 

What about the rain!

 

Needs less rice, more nice.

 

I'm not sure about the hood pins, but I like the vents. Maybe round them out a tad to follow the hood/body lines a bit more, but they will be functional anyways. Props for doing something different!

 

Cool hood. Don't much care for the side vents though. The main one is neat.

 

It's ruff looking right now but A+ for effort...need to see finish/paint to give real opinion.

 

yes im still workin on it. it serves a function and im still workin on it. a pic with the sides allmost done

yes it will be a turbo but for now i do notice a drop in underhood temps and the vents are positioned above nuthin electrical and right behind my air filter. the hood pins are there cause i got rid of the hood latch and the lateral bar runnin infront of the radiator.

 

Ummm, you do realize that's a a major structural component of your car, right?

 

the up and down bar

 

lateral is side to side. vertical is up and down.

 

Looks good. You can sand prime and wrap it with carbon fiber vinyl

 

looks pretty good, i prefer just a Z31 turbo hoodscoop though

 

... i'd rather jump out of a plane with no shoot into a large parking lot of glass bottles...

 

dude i think its looks pretty sick. def wouldnt be good in New England. lol way too much snow. havin 4 seasons kinda blows lol

 

I would never put one on my max.
but it looks like it's correctly done, props on that.
and plz, no cf wrap.

 

in for pics of the finished product and stoked the gif is disgusting but funny

 

lol at work we had a G35 that had the hood and trunk CF wrapped, i work with a bunch of old guys and they all even noticed it within a second

my center light on the 3rd gen is CF wrapped

 

Not bad, but not my thing. Wish they made CF hoods for these cars

 

+1

 

Give him some time, he may have the touch to make it look really nice........

 

^ yea, he just mihgt. from what i've seen so far, good job

 

They do/did. nobody bought them.

 

i got one

 

i got one to.

 

i would take one now if they were still available

 

Well I know about those.. There was some group deal a long time ago or something and maybe about 15-20 were made right? Really no way of getting them now, right?

Battery relocation + CF hood = some sweet weight savings in the front. that idea really intruiges me for some reason.

 

last one i saw for sale was a new one a guy had sitting in his basement, sold about 2 years ago

 

slow progress but started to clean the welds

 

Why not weld from the other side so you don't see the welds?

 

the top edge is from the underside the bottom is from top side so that i can grind a curve into it

 

Lookin good

 

Like it!

 

looks good! interested to see final pics

 

well got to get a new hood ****en wind and a lighter hood dont mix when your under it workin on the motor
so itll be even better sence i learned a few things i did wrong

 

I have a good dark gray hood. Should match right up! Not sure you want to make the drive though.

 

damn yea a little to far for a hood thx thou

 

We should see if we could get a group going for some carbon fiber hoods. I know I would be down. I need a new hood and dont feel like buying a stock one. Would anyone be interested? where did we get them last time?
