Wrecked my Max

It happened Friday afternoon on the way to work...jackasses have no idea how to drive on 280...

Anyway, I need a hood, pass. side fender, headlights & a front bumper cover. I'm going to get R34 headlights off eBay with corner lights, Z3 fenders, I just need some help in picking out a hood & front bumper as I'm prolly going carbon fiber with the hood & a front bumper from a body-kit or an entire body-kit. Does anyone have a Sarona Design hood? I was thinking about the one with the 2 inlets in the front & making a RAM-Air Hood. Or should I just go with OEM CF?

As far as the front bumper I'm not trying to change it a lot from stock. If anyone wouldn't mind posting some pics of their kits & letting me know what kind they are I would greatly appreciate it...

It's all a matter of opinion.

Check out the Members Ride section and Cardomain. Plenty to look at there.

OEM CF hood.
OEM 97+ bumper but add a lip to it.

thats what I would do if I was in your situation. Wasnt a fan of anything else besides that. Maybe the M bumper but thats no longer made.

That sucks about the damage. On the mods you might be going a little overboard. Keep it close to stock with a little taste of performance. You want to keep the sleeper look.

I saw a pic on here of some guy who has a Super-Black Max like mine with Z3 fenders that fit perfectly & his side-molding removed. I thought it looked pretty sweet, but I was thinking about going with these since it has a nice tear drop vent for the CAI...

I already have a '98 bumper anyway, as it's a '98 GXE...what is this 'M' bumper?
And is it possible to get a CF hood that's black? I don't necassarily want it to look CF...

Those fenders are ugly and so is the hood. I would get stock carbon fiber fenders and hood for weight savings if they make them looking stock.

If I was you I would part out the Max and buy something RWD. But that's just me.
