Well my dad is a dumbass and drove my Maxima into the snow blower and tore a huge piece of paint off the hood. What do you guys suggest i do to fix it. Buy a new hood and paint it, repaint the old hood, or are there any carbon fiber hoods available? And if there are, do you think they would look good on a ruby pearl (maroon) Maxima?

 

if you plan on modding your max out, buy a CF hood. fiber images has them available. if you car is stock or looks stock, don't get the CF hood. it'll look nasty

 

here is one I found by searching google...

any other suggestions other than a CF hood? how much do you think it'll cost to repaint the hood?

 

It will cost less than a $400 Carbon Fiber one. Maybe $200 depending where ya go or who ya know.

 

i know custommaxima.com is workin on it... jus donno when it'll come out =) ask Greg.

 

The FiberImages hood was $760 shipped a year ago, I got mine for $600 in a group buy... show me where to find a Maxima CF hood for $200, or even just $400.

 

I think he meant to repaint the hood will cost less than getting the CF hood, Maybe $200 for painting it. He probably did go a little low on the price for a CF hood at $400 though.

 

OHHHHHHHHH I misread... I thought he was saying he could get a CF hood for $200. My fault.

 

Ange from www.redlinemax.com should be getting her shipment of hoods real soon

 

that would be nice for ppl who want a lighter hood that could be painted to look stock.

 

You can paint a carbon fiber hood too.

 

or you could get a clear hood......

 

$380.00 on red line max

 

200 for painting the hood. are you kidding Today i Have scratch on my rear bumber, someone in college hit it. i went to body shop today. want to charge me 300 to touch up my bumber. is that crazy or what???????

 

dam go to another shop for sure..

 

Clear hoods are acrylic, which are for show only and wouldn't do well with the heat of the engine.

 

Is is too big of a scratch for touch up paint?

 

Custom Maxima's CF hoods are going to be ready after the next couple weeks....I am first in line...

 

Is this what you hope? or what you know for sure? They usually take forever to get products on the market...

 

cough*cough* projector headlights *cough*cough...

 

I know for certain,...I am going to the maker to get it installed...

pictures will be taken and an evaluation for everyone's comparison as soon as I hear it is ready to go on...I was told as early as the 14th of this month but am planning on some time next week.
