I just wanted to know if anyone has ever put a carbon creations carbon fiber hood on there 7th gen Maxima? i'm thinking about getting one and would like to know if it fits nice or do u have to make any modifications at all? thanks...

 

I am curious as well.

 

From what I have heard, it fits great..I was thinking of getting one, but I rather spend it elsewhere

 

You have an aluminum hood as it is. Minor weight savings and not enough to off-set the cost$$. I'm not that flush with cash to do it for looks only.

 

I am right there with you..It does look hot, but for 6 bills, def not.

 

You 7th gen owners can be so cheap sometimes. $600 isn't bad for a CF hood for a "newer" car. I figured it would be more.

 

this would look stupid.

 

Has nothing to do with being cheap.As it is I have a perfectly good hood. Now if it were munched in an accident I may entertain a CF as a replacement.

 

I agree..if my hood was terribly scratched or I got into a accident, I would buy the carbon fiber hood no questions asked

 

I've actually seen it on sale for $479.

 

Carbon is gayness

 

Gay ok buddy so why are u looking at this thread stupid! I also saw it for $479 too but $125 for shipping errr. i think if u have the white or black it'll look sick!!!!!

 

dont pay attention at ignorance!

If you get it you might be the first...it could work either way though...do they have a pic of it on the car? link?
Thanks!

 

yeah they do if u look it up on ebay they have a few pics of it on the car and also they have a video clip of the carbon fiber i guess its a Grade A carbon? i found out that if you place an offer which is at $605 to start they will still honor the free shipping which is really quick i heard? im really temped because i have the satin oearl white paint on my max with 20" ACE Eminence rims staggered stainless lip and matt black spokes and machined face?

 

hmmm just checked it out, not sure if i am digging it...i would buy the dnoc cf film and do it up first to see if i like it....otherwise its alot of $ to buy it and not to like it

 

Really guys lol i stating how i feel about carbon fiber and u guys jump on me like im crazy that other dude post its stupid and no body says anything to him lol

 

^description could have been a bit more respectful. That's all I'm saying

 

Im sorry for the more senstive guys on this thread

 

Nothing wrong with CF, but its out of place on a 7th Gen IMO.

 

Def is out of place to each there one lol carbon fiber dont even fit right half the time

 

i dont think this is a mod that we should do to our maxima's we don't need to rice it out its to nice of a car and i have mine modded to the max and wouldn't think that it would look good.

 

There alot of riced out one out there already its sad but hey who are we to judge

 

^^ people calm down lol

 

we all have our own opinions correct? well, i understand that our maxima's our in between luxury and sporty so like i said where do we draw the line? I honestly think that it'll look nice on a White maxima maybe black? we talk about dropping cars exhaust, turbo's, Ypipes, engine performance ect.. after all it is considered a 4 door sports car. So the question is will it look like we took it to far or maybe we just have now limitations to what we wanna do to our own cars! some people like the idea some dont its all G00D! ive well over ten grand in my max and i gotta say my 7th gen is sitting real pretty right now.. i started this thread by asking if anyone has ever done it before i guess that i got my answer. oh well we'll see what happens peace..

 

10k!! Geez in what?

 

COILOVERS,INTAKE,CAR AUDIO,RIMS,TIRES,LED LIGHTING & HID, installation costs and all kinds of other sh#t,....

 

IMO, on the 7th gen maxima think its looks good but at the same time the stock hood is pretty light. On the real how much are you saving in weight? I'm not huge on CF but think I would have to consider not just the look of CF but the functionality on cutting weight for the price I'd be paying.

As mentioned earlier it's not about being cheap, IMO

 

I think its more for looks especially since the weight difference isnt all that dramatic.

 

Theres a site that sells it for 429.99 I believe, free shipping as well. I personally like it..Maybe I'll buy it after my performance mods

 

Just wondering: what performace mods?
there isnt really anything out there that would be "realistically" considered a performance mod

 

^^ lol thats very true ive done it all and NOTHING is really a dramatic difference ... your doing bolt ons BECAUSE u just wanna change the "sound" of the car... your still not beating that 2007 g35x

 

I can't tell you what I am doing my car..that would be no fun. FTrecord, I have beaten a G35x from a 40 dig..multiple times. Although, I don't condone any form of racing unless on a track.

And idc about the sound of my car. I know I have a sport sedan and I am happy with it. My next car that I am buying will be for fun.

 

highly doubt that my man..my boys has a g35x we took it on the track multiple times... 40 rolls.. at the dig .. the 2007 g35x 4ds ripts ours cars. maybe the guy u raced was driving stick and sucked at driving but theres no way. lol

 

Right..and pigs fly.

 

Curious what is that you have you done to your car? If you got a sc then I am not sure if the tranny can handle that... If you got turbo, you might need a duffle rent computer ... Intake pulley and exhaust isn't going to make the car any faster

 

Unless you can show what you got I think you are just talking out of your rear... Evidence sir evidence!

 

Hahah, I rather have an individual like yourself say I am talking nonsense then to share my plans . I won't sleep any different tonight!

 

Haha true! But otherwise those are empty arguments .., and I am curious what might have you done so secretive

 

I never even argued. I merely said I beat a g35x. Plain, yet simple.

Curiosity is good.

 

Being a g35 really isnt serious lol that car is slow we dont drive a race car we drive a 4 door sedan.. Its not even sporty as they claim it to be
