same hood exactly only the bumper and lights were changed for the 2k2s

 

My friend has a Cervini Hood that runs a low profile scoop directly into his intake on a Mustang. That would be something I could go for... Not some gray-black hood, on a Glacier Pearl max !

 

vents are rice i not be wanting no vents

 

Irvine: What I was saying is, if you buy a CF hood and paint over it, nobody will even know that you have one. That's my point.

Secondly, the Maxima is NOT a luxury car. It is NOT a sports car. It's more of a sporty semi-lux sedan. For my price range, the Maxima kicks ***, and I love it. But who are we fooling? It is no Mercedes.

 

No, because I smoke C- Class and Kompresor Mercedes... The poor mans Mercedes.. !

Screw BMW ! THey stink up the industry ! If I had my pick, I would go with a E55 Mercedes, with a Brabus exhaust .... Can you say BYE BYE........ Oh, and im still LUXURY !

 

NO WAY! Give me a Dinan M5 anyday...

 

Sorry, visit Newport Beach in California one day, and go to Brabus, and you will bow down to Mercedes ! BMW is the Honda of Europe !

 

\

Mrecedes are the taxis of Europe... literally

 

Yeah, and skylines are CHEAP in Japan,
Cadillacs are more expensive than Rolls Royce in Russia, so whats your point ?

 

So what, now you're saying the Skyline is no good b/c of it's price in Japan? Ok...makes sense...

 

WTF ! Im saying they are CHEAP in Japan, like the previous post said Taxis are Benzes in Germany, so the BENZ is cheap in Germany, and it now stinks ! ???? ! Do you see the comparison ! ..WTF is circulating on this board !.......

 

have you been to Germany? haha the taxis ARE Mercedes... you know you can get an S class there with a 4cyl? have you ever heard of the E200? hahah Mercedes arent all that they are here over here

 

True enough .. but I think (& someone else said it) ... throw on a kit, some rims & other aesthetic/performance mods and the CF hood won't look that bad @ all ... it's all a matter of opinion really.

 

someone just get one and take pix please. i'm very very curious as to how it would look.


ps - skylines are da bomb.

 

haha there is no way I can have them take pic unless they make one.. which requires 5 or more people to be willing to pay a deposit

if you want pics of a Fiber Images hood I can do that... but keep in mine what we will get is better than that

 

I guess somehow we got totally OT here, but yeah I don't think a clean looking CF hood would look bad on a Max, regardless of color. As long as the vents look good, not just like some afterthought.

 

(Slowly dragging this thread back into on-topicness...)

Question about CF hoods. Do they have fold points/energy absorbtion points like metal hoods? Or do they turn into a guillotine like the buicks/chryslers of the 60's in front end collisions?

I'm curious about how much engineering goes into these things.

(The heck with what they look like, I wouldn't mind getting rid of some of the front weight bias...)

 

Team Premier Racing=TPR

kinda lost interest in drag racing anymore..road racing is better..

someone please shut down this thread...sorry Malik..looks like ur gonna have to start over..

 

haha will do Hoon I'll cut and copy the important posts I will need everyone to repost ok?

and about the fold points? they fold around the center of the hood... they can do some pretty crazy folding, I've never seen a CF hood break. What I have seen is a Civic that hit a light pole and the car was totalled but the CF hood was perfect (explain that huh )

I will ask the molder for more details! thanks for the good question!
