I ordered mine in April too.....I just received it. Left Coast tuning is working with a

manufacturer, and they are lagging on the products.....just hang in there.....

Looks awesome Gio. I need to take some pics of my cover too...I'm still debating whether to put a Nissan badge on there...

LeftCoast Tuning is now able to offer these covers again, they run $200 + $20 s/h.

They fit: '02-'05 Maximas, I35's, and '02+ Altima 3.5SE's

Bl_ah blah blah...if you saw it in person, you'd bust a nut. It's so sexy in person. I'll try and take some good pics of my engine bay at the car show this weekend.

Holy crap, are you saying you didn't get your cover yet? As far as I knew, everyone got their covers months ago. Email Brian at: service@leftcoasttuning.com and he'll help sort it out...

That looks awesome, not sure though if I would pay $220 for it though. Maybe at most $80 wish $20 shipping.

NJ Devils Fan: You're hilarious. $220 is a STEAL for anyone familiar with CF. Similar products for 350Z's and Audis go for $350 and up!

Nj Devils fan, Im sorry to say, but you will never find one for that price. Just browse the net, and you will see most covers are going for 200 + and some for even close to 500 bucks.

why do you even need a aftermarket cf cover ?
its not like people will see it, its under your hood
the orignal plastic does not weight that much , so a CF does not mean much different... I Can understand why a CF Hood is important..

BY no means your increaing your HP with a cf motor cover lol

I believe that was the grill emblem for a 2k4 Maxima. Unfortunately, the Ebay auction that featured that pic expired. However, here's another featuring the rear Nissan emblem for the G35 (Skyline):

Hell, if I drove by his neck of the woods, I'd be like hey, there goes "El Chingon" Gio. If I saw anybody else in a Max, I'd probably keep on driving.

I'm just saying that I don't think its worth it for something that you really won't see. I like it and all, but wouldn't pay that much for it.
