are there any other hood styles out there?

im done with the CF look soon. i basically going to trade it to someone for an OEM grey luster hood (with cash) but i was hoping there was another aggressive, but NOT RICEY hood out there. the only one i have seen was invader style, which i dont like. i want something a lil aggressive to match the shaved trunk and G35 sedan spoiler i will be going with once i sell my CF trunk. has anyone come across anything nice and tasteful?

i have no input on your question, but are you willing to sell your CF hood, or are you specifically going to trade + cash? thanks.

i dont have an OEM hood, so unless i can buy an aftermarket third party hood, its going to have to be a trade for a GL one.

to be completely blunt - on a maxima, "aggressive" will ALWAYS equal "rice"

in looking around, the whole TWO hoods i found, im beginning to think that. i think its best to keep the clean look ive achieved and just stick with an OEM hood. i dont want to mess with whats right.

Dude, you have one of the CLEANEST cars out there. You have one of only the 5 cars I honestly give the proverbial 'MAD UPS' to what you have done with it. Why change it?

thanks, i will keep it the same, OEM style, but i will be getting rid of the CF. i dont like the fading look of the hood, i just dont want to deal with it anymore, and it gives it too much of the "racer" look. i think i can keep it equally clean and just add a lil somethin something with the G35 spoiler.

Why not just paint a section of the hood to spice things up a bit?

ive thought about that, about possibly having the center painted, or just the sides, but i dont know how i feel about that yet. i think that actually looks more "racer" (not ricer) than just having the CF hood. but then again, no one with a gray luster has done that yet, so it could look pretty good...it COULD

You should do that first, your car looks really good with CF.

EDIT: hmm weird, the pic doesnt show up for me unless i quote you, anyway...

this is what i meant by invader style, but im wrong, your hood is invader style...i dont likw this one either, i think painted CF might be the way to go
