gap ...

The 5th gen one looks flawless, but when you look at the 4th gen one, i agree, there appears to be a slight gap difference... Look at the real closeup pic of the one on the maroon Max above, nearing the headlight, the gap seems slightly larger than as you move along the hoodline up to the windshield... Other than that, thumbs up, this is the best looking CF hood i've seen for the Max yet, you 5th genners should jump on this quick... I might jump on this eventually once i have more stuff paid off because my stock hood is chop full o paint chips
I think it's the way the front curves slightly inward along the edges up front.. lighting on the carbonfiber can deceive you from these pics. I looked at these hoods and the gap is very even all along the front end. As for the top of the fender, remember, the lil 2-3mm gap that is visible at the top is there so that your hood does NOT get scuffed by the fender when you lift the hood up.

Bump.

Thebigsadler, when I saw your post, I remember watching the hood jump video a long time ago. I went to the FiberImages website this morning and took a closer look at all three videos again. I see what you are saying about the rims looking like they are not moving. After watching the rim being dropped on the hood, I can imagine how that could be staged.

I also looked closely at the hood jump video and watched the shadow cast by the guy jumping on it. Looks legit to me. However, I would like to know what makes you think this particular video is staged or cut up?

OT, but does anyone else think the FiberImages video are staged or cut up? Care to explain if you think so?

i havent looked at them in awhile, but they are all staged, possibly not the one jumping up and down, but the audio is cut so you dont here the splitting of the fiberglass.

winshield washer nozzles?

how much extra would it run to get these drilled?

my hood is chipped to hell too and it's a hard color to match, so I might just spring for the CF.

i have a 96 i30t and have been told that the max bodykits (for some reason or another) don't fit the i30. if that is the case, my question is: will the cf hood for the 4th gen fit the i30?

It will not work in any way or sort because the I30's carry along the front grille fascia inside of the hood in one piece.(damn heavy).

Larry H: You can drill the holes through yourself. There are already tiny holes indicating where the washer nozzles should be drilled.

Dysfunctional: My storage is in Brooklyn, New York. You can pickup the hood there (and also have it installed for $50).

infinitydrgn: The i30 hood is not interchangable with the 4th gen hoods.
