nice, im in if thats the look

 

Me wants one for my 3rd gen. Only thing is, when it rains it will act as a storm drain, and that will be right where my turbo goes>>>

 

I like that one the best! Let's make it happen!

 

Saaaweeeeet.

 

I want one!! Let's get this baby going

 

I like it too Malik...
Also, would the manufacturer still needs my donner hood?

 

The molder might already have a Maxima hood not sure where he got it from but saves us some trouble

also I'll ask the molder to cut a piece of black plastic to fit over the vent to block it off if you guys are worried about it I'm thinking a piece of black plastic with some silicone or rubber or something that would do a decent job of blocking off any water flow...

 

would this require running hoodpins? or it comes with the factory hood latch.

 

hood is designed not to require them, the molder will provide a full warranty for the hood

 

Check into the 3rd gens, even though they just did a group deal with that other company hehe...I would like to run that vent open in the summer and closed in the winter. It can do very good, or very bad.

 

in cali it aint no biggie just close it when it rains if it bothers you that much I mean unless someone really sticks a hose in there i wouldnt worry about it so much

I've talked to the molder about doing something for 3rd and 5th gens he said once he does the 4th gen GD he'll be willing to work on other GDs!

 

Are you taking deposits yet or anything like that? Do we have a final price? You might want to edit the first post to keep people up to date.

Thanks,
Erik

 

if they do make them like the one in the skyline pic then I'll buy one

 

the molder will take deposits as soon as he finalizes the price.. he's still working that out right now

and theblue- the vent will be http://socalmaxima.8m.com/CFhood.htm on the 240SX (Hiroshi's friend has a nice car!)

 

count me in for one!!!

 

i am in too


lets see a final price

 

Let's get this thing moving. I might be needing a new hood. All depends on what the insurance guy says on thurs.

 

im in i got in alittle wreck yesterday need a hood for sure. whos says you need to stop at the stop sign

 

I'm in for the hood with that vent. That's the exact vent I've been looking for, and this would sure beat having it custom made which is what I've been shopping around for.

 

carnal c30

Any updates on the carbon fiber hood and the pricing?

 

the molder is finalizeing everythign right now as soon as I get his email or his call I will post it up! thanks guys for the interest we might get a really good price on these!

 

I'm definitely in. I need a new hood

 

you're killin me carnal

the 4th gen GD is going to take a few months right?

 

Can we still get the washer nozzles to?

 

 

Washer nozzles should be a no cost option, we will get all that work out when we start ordering

hehe sorry its taking a long time, I wanted to find the right vent, make sure the quality was good and also to get some more info about his previous work.
I'm still working with him on a warranty because I think 1 year is barely adequate.

once the deal starts there will be about 1-2 weeks and about 2-3 hoods everyweek

be patient gota make sure everything is good and worth the omney we pay

 

I personally appreciate you doing this, even though you are an azshole J/P come back soon man!!!

 

thanks dude

I really started doing this because I didnt feel safe having that FI hood on there w/o hoodpins... not only was there the chance that something would happen but also if and when it did, FiberImages would **** me over and leave me hanging- just like they did and still are doing to Matthel
other reason was haha all the SoCal guys offering me money at every meet for my hood CF looks so good I couldnt really name a price but they kept asking! Now I'm glad I started looking into it this is one sweet lookin hood

 

By all means take your time, if thats the issue we should try to be patiant so that the hoods will come out perfect and original!.

 

So the new hoods will require hood pins?

 

hell no!! if you want em you can have em, and this time we will have a guarantee that they arent needed!

right now I'm making sure the molder notices the slight flare at the top of the hood that sort of covers the wipers on the 240SX I think we all would want that feature am I correct? it makes it looks more sleek

 

Yes, NO HOOD PINS, COVER WIPERS!

 

Can we just finalize one design so they can get going on making them.

 

I'm in also. I'm glad I've waited for something like this.

 

we have, I'm just waiting for the molder to get back to me so we can start getting hoods I want the molder to finalize warranty, Group Deal rates and stuff like that... thats what I'm waiting for especially for the warranty info!

 

I want in as well.. keep me updated...

 

So you guarantee that at 140mph + speeds this hood wont fly up and crack my windshield? Will you or the company replace my windshield for free if this does happen and or any damage to the car?

 

That is probably part of the warranty he is working out. Also, see if you can make the hood a little more bulgy, so there is more engine bay room.

 

is there anyway he can mold me a "regular" carbon fiber hood thats similar to the oem hood.... that look isnt what im going for so if he can or if anyone is going to be selling their old cf hood for this new design im interested.

I agree, some people only want that clean stockish look...great idea.
