http://maxima.cardomain.com/id/choiyThanks for the compliments. 
I bought the pins while vacationing in Hong Kong, but here are a bunch of places that sell it:

Yes, I test drove the car already. If you want to read my opinions and experience, check out http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=190559
http://www.visracing.com if you want to get their hood. irvine78 sells carbon fiber hoods too (actually, the shop that made his hood sells them).
I didn't hear any rattles on the freeway... maybe there was but the sound of turbo spooling overwhelmed any other noise.

honestly speaking does anyone have a clear pick of how the kombat kit looks painted and everything, i am very close to buying the front bumper but im not still sure yet if the stillen aero would be a better pick, help would be apreciated.

I have to agree. That thing needs to be painted. Don't get me wrong, I'm envious and wouldn't mind getting one, but it need to match the rest of the car color or it's screaming rice. The stealth factor of a coat of paint would beOriginally posted by max'n out

1/8" wider gap on the passenger side than the driver side. Other than that, the fitment is good.Originally posted by Woo Cho

Other than looks, is the only other reason to get a CF hood for weight reduction? How much lighter is the CF hood than our hoods? Aren't ours Aluminum?Originally posted by Y2KevSE

For me, yes. The CF hood offsets the extra weight from the turbo. I don't have the actual numbers, but there is a noticeable difference between the weights.Originally posted by 2002Maxxxima

No, our hoods aren't aluminum.
