I was just on Nopi and and found out that they have a Carbon Fiber hood listed for 4th gen Maxima. It says it's made by Aerogear. I didn't know they made one for us. I did a search and didn't see anyhting about it so I figured I would let everyone know. Here's the link http://www.nopionline.com/index.cfm?...Front&vaffid=0

 

HMMMMM. i have been thinking of picking one up, but a lot of things nopi has up for sale isn't out.

 

I think I'm going to give them a call this week to see if they really have them in stock or not.

 

yes, and then get back to us

 

I notice you guys are talking about carbonfiber hoods, and found another maker. The website is


Fiberimage.com

I was checking out the site and they have a picture of the royal blue max that looks tight.

 

I notice that you guys were talking about carbon fiber hoods.
I also found another comany that makes the hoods.


Fiberimages.com

They have a nice royal blue looking max with it on. I believe they make it in yellow, blue, red, and black carbon fibers for our cars.

 

old news bro

 

Sorry man,

It's new news to me because i'm new to the Max scene.

 

anyone know if there is a carbon fiber hood for a '99 i30. most likely not cause us i30 guys get the shaft in the body mods but i was just curious if anyone had wind of one..?

 

it news to me too. i didn't look too hard but when i did i couldn't find anything.

does anybody know the weight of the stock hood and the weight of the carbon fiber hood? how much weight reduction?

 

Members didn't like their customer service. Their were also fitment issues. CF was cracking. Welcome to the scene!

 

Stock hood is 46lbs, my CF hood was 16lbs, both weighed on my bathroom scale.

 

DAYUM!!! i knew my hood was heavy but god lord!

 

InfinitieI30

Doesn't the I30 use the same hood as the Max?



Amaxim98

The fitments with the fiberworks, or Aerogears hood?

Fiberimages.. search is your friend

 

no i30 and max have different hoods mainly cause of the grille.

 

mine weighed 12lbs with bubblewrap and some styrofoam on it.

 

Yeah, this one sounds a lot cheaper than the fiberimages one.

 

Maybe my bathroom scale is off? I was told they weighed 13 but it weight 16 on my crappy scale.

 

any update on that company?

do they really sell those hoods? I'm interested.

 

hmmm, aerogear's been making hoods and other things for altimas for awhile. anyone know people on the altima boards that've had experience with them??

 

It's not listed on their main website. It could be an error on NOPI's part. It wouldn't be the first time NOPI listed something that's not available.

 

well, i just called Nopi about 2min ago. The rep told me that they DO SELL these hoods for the Maxima, he just couldnt tell me how long the wait would be for one. He also told me to add on another $100 for shipping

figured id share my findings with you guys.

100 dollars sounds a lot for shipping. How much did it cost for the fiberimages to be shipped?

 

$100 freight shipping is reasonable. Nothing beats a 18 wheeler pulling up infront of your house It will be about $20 cheaper to a commercial address.

 

I got this from Aerogear.

Tony,

Thank you for your interest in Aerogear products. The carbon fiber hood for the 99 maxima is currently under development. We have not yet released it so if there are any pictures of a carbon fiber hood on a maxima im pretty sure it is not our product. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me here.
