Sorry..

sorry about the delay folks.
the hood is made.
and we're in the process of getting time to fit it on my car. mostlikely next week. it was supposed to be two weeks ago . but no go. then last week. but they had a show to do. today, but there was a death in the business family owner blah. but leonard assures me the hood mold is done.
and im taking pre-orders now.

you can check out their other hoods at
FiberImages.com

but if you want the special group deal pricing. it has to go through MaximaDriver.com


$425 for 20 people.
less if more.

thanks
again.
and sorry for the delay in the pictures.

That's the style I've been planning on going with on my Max. Kinda like the GTR or the Eclips. Is this an attachment for the original bumber, or a replacement? I've been envisioning a replacement.

ok, i will talk to my guy this weekend, and see what he says about tooling up a kit for the 4th gens...

cheston - a question about your CF hood...is it 100% cf, or is it underlayed with fibreglass? does it work with the stock hood lock, or are pins required? thx.

with a big mouth kit. i think they only look good if you fill it with an intercooler or sumthin. Showing off dirty power steering lines and other stuff is kinda nasty lookin. well hopefully we get to see CF pics soon

I like something like the Buddy Club style for Civics or the black widow style for accords. If he doesn't want to do side skirts that's cool. What I would really like is a new bumper and a rear bumper cover. Urethane would be the only body parts I would buy. I don't mind paying more for urethan because it saves you money in the long run. You would have to paint fiberglass every year. If rear bumper is a no go, maybe like a full rear skirt. Don't really like the Stillen two pieces rear.
