Got the new hood, nothing special, not carbon fiber, just a straight new aftermarket hood. No dents, no dings, no lumps, creases and most of all no chips.

Here's a closeup of the smooth straight hood. Now the hood looks as good as the rest of the car. Love that red.

 

As do I. Looking good!

 

ya that color is hard to beat, lookin good, now u jsut need to get those infinity centercaps out of your rims and put in some nissan ones

 

 

looking . good..... im in the need of a new. one.. or a nice paint job... not sure the way to go .. but looks nice

 

Wow that aftermarket hood fit nicely!

 

lookin good... is it metal or fiberglass? where did you get it?


i love those rims... really classy lookin

 

definately a great color...

 

The fit is nice, being aftermarket.

What brand hood is it?

 

Glad to see the current owner loves it as much as the past one did. Good job keeping it nice!

 

The hood is metal and is from Certi-Fit (sp?)
Go to anyone that does collision repair and they can get one. $115.
Cost $350. to paint and install the hood and blend the fenders.
The rims are from an I30 I believe.

 

i thought the wheels were from an older q45

 

That is what I was told too when I bought it. I have seen an I30 with the same wheels and guys that see it say they are I30 wheels. It really makes no difference to me

 

i need a new hood or a paint job i have a 97 max, the colour is nice and i think rare its called IRIS ( i think ) basically mettalic purple from the factory

i dont think bodyshops can paint that can they find that colour ? also should i just look for the same one from a junkyard (goota be rare)

i have one serious ding on it where the metal is showing, and several otrher down to metal scratches

what should i do ?

PS i think they can bend it back, sand it down and paint it, IF they can find the paint, maybe from dealer ? hhhhmmmm

 

My favorite max.....red.

 

They're from a Q45t. The previous owner of your car now owns the same car those came off of

 

looking great! doors dont look that smooth or is the drivers one cracked open?

 

i didn't use to like red maximas........now, looking at yours, i do.



looks real good, im jealous

 

Yeah, the driver's door is not quite shut. Didn't notice that til later

 

They don't find the paint, they mix it from the paint code. Any good body shop or automotive finish dealer can make it. Matching EXACTLY can be tricky but it can be done.

 

That looks real nice. Good job.

 

Door ajar!!!

Q45's and I30's have shared wheels on many occasions.

 

looks excellent...that red is phenomenal too
