Carbon Fiber hood

Is there any word/possibility of this? I just saw one on the taurus car club of america's forum...(i used to own one)...Its absolutly beautiful, and looks like it would match an Onyx maxima verrry nicely. Anyone know?

looks like so far in this thread there is all onyx members, but if it looks proper on a silver i would take a peep at it...

hmmm, burnt ember and carbon fiber?? I think that would be very nice. but of course you'll have every kid you pass wanting to race you.

if the hood is done, a trunk is a must.

carbon fiber trunk...never thought of that nismo...I wonder what the weight savings would be with the hood alone?

If we pester the carbon fiber manufacturers enough, maybe they will make hoods and trunks. Right now, they think the Maxima is a luxury car that the owners dont wanna mod. We need to do some educatin'

Yeah, and it should hopefully grow stronger...I just like the look of carbon fiber, and if its made for the previous gens it should be for this one as well. It would look pretty obvious on a silver max teq...but i dont think it would look improper.

i think if the trunk is done too it would look really good on a sliver max.

Oh My, Thats frickin gorgeous...Wayy too nice for the kinda homes i see in the background tho, someone got their priorities wrong LOL

WHY cant the max have a front end kit that looks that awesome?! The sarona front end is way too rounded, this thing looks bold and edgy, really looks great on the car, and the grille..everything is awesome...

Ehhh, youd be surprised at the values of homes here now. Those houses you see can easily sell for over $200,000.

Im aware, home prices in buffalo are pretty good thats why im trying to stay local..$200,000 you're sitting pretty in the burbs in a new 2500+ sq ft house Those pictured would be under 100k around here...this isnt San Francisco. I know many people who have gone south because its even cheaper according to them. Alot of places in NC and SC are way more affordable than around here, taxes are nothing compared to NY, and no basement in means less money. Metro Bflo is a pit, but the burbs are nice.

$200,000

I'd be lucky to buy a garden shed for that price around here...California is nice but damn if it ain't expensive!!! House lke that are between 5 and 7 in these parts, with hardly any yard!!! Deus knows what I am talking about...

I'll work on a photshop for you Blaxima, looks like a bit of a task, but I could use the practice!!!

Buffalo has no jobs but if you get one...you can live very nicely on a decent income...you make $100,000 around here you can live like a king!

Naw man, a CF would look so much better than that photoshop. That looks more like sundamaged onyx paint.

Thanks for the backup Jay...as for the ostrich watch out it might be a fun one to make happen...

04blackmax, no worries I wasn't offended, just defending my self. If I learned one thing in this forum (no Max related) it's to to take all criticism with a grain of salt. I do what I do how I want to do it, and if someone doesn't like it then oh well!!!
