Okay guys! So i have been talkin with the guys over at bodykits.org and they will make a C/F hood for our 6th gen Max.

They want to get a group buy going to see how many people would be interested in one of these hoods.

It would be and OEM C/F hood. I did not talk to them about any design for it just an OEM hood.

With 10 people willing to buy one of these hoods the price would be $525 if we get more the price should go down.

So im trying to see if anyone is in on this?

 

lets see 10 people come forth!!

 

Its gotta be different than OEM. I vote for a small scoop in front or opening or some kind to distignuish it, even like the new BMW 335 twin turbo hood I saw at LA car show or GTR

 

Yeah if we can get some ideas out there i will let them know. Maybe some photoshops will help as well.

But lets not get all crazy with the designs because we dont want to get stuck like the front bumper did.

 

I am 99.99% down for one.
The other 00.01% depends on me seeing some pics and or a photoshop

 

it needs to have a nice scoop as deus said!

 

I would have to see pics.. i dont want anything toooooooooo crazy... I like the OEM style... but im open to see a photo shop....

 

well not quite finally. you need 10 people that want the CF look on oem.

 

small maybe 1 inch or so opening facing windshield scoop and id be willing to install on my 07

 

I know you guys might be tired of looking at my drawings all over the place but here it goes again ,

this hood CF


with the same bumper on our cars,

 

I did a quick chop here at work. Im still working on getting a small scoop on there so ill work on that.

 

I found the celica hood and this one has a small scoop at the end of the hood. I was thinking something along this.

 

im down for one but i prefer the stock hood carbon fiber design

 

something like this would be sweet

no u dont want a scoop u want a vent, there is nothing there u want to jam all that air into, ur hood wil flutter.

You need the rear facing vent, the thing that expels warm air from the engine bay.

I think small vents on both sides would be great, I saw something like that in a magazine on a M3. I'll try to get the pictures for you guys and I am pretty sure everyone would agree. I would buy something like that in no time.

 

[quote=kamilkluczewski;6084183][quote=DeusExMaxima;6083962]there is a man with the same things in mind and posting at the same exact time. Great Polaks think alike.

 

yes rear facing

 

[QUOTE=kamilkluczewski;6084183][QUOTE=DeusExMaxima;6083962]+1 on rear facing. Amen to that.

 

I looked for something with a rear facing vent.




I would think we would only need the vent at the rear and not all the other stuff on it.
This is for a 350z

 

As as I would prefer a design with vents, I'll take an OEM one. lol I got caught in a hail storm out on the 210 FWY near Pasadena last year. My Hood is jacked! How soon can this happen?

 

Hail storm on the 210????? Are you serious???

 

I personally think the celica style would be perfect, very subtle, yet sporty enough to add to the cars style

 

I like this custom scoop or something close to it with maybe a cowl vent facing the window that could be opened with a manual choke cable to allow the hot air to escape. Its not over done and would function for heat reduction if it had the cowl vent. Best of all you really wouldn't have to worry about any water getting in or wind drag.

i think this hood as it is would be perfect.

 

SIGN ME UP!!! Great photo chopping Majestic. Seriously, I am loooooving that hood with the vents. Like Taz said, subtle and sweet!

 

I like the hood too but it doesn't work for a everyday driver in winter time or rain.

 

I agree

 

I can't find the magazine for now with that perfect hood but I will look for it tomorrow at my pops house. It was Models & Makes so if anybody has it you should have see it. For now I just found some pictures but these are not there yet, just some ideas.

 

I am working on an idea for a mod to my lip spoiler. Any idea as to what it is?

 

Here is a Cadillac from SEMA:

 

that would work for the 6th gen....

BUT how would they make it? copying OEM is one thing, creating off a pic is another thing entirely.

 

Not feeling the vents... I would like just a plain classy look w/ no vents... maybe a small scoop... but vents are too civic'y for me ...

been there... done that ^^^^^^....

 

agreed. if we're going to do it, lets do it right.

Joshua

 

i would agree with that but for some weird reason i still think there should be a vent on it and not a roof scoop. thats a lil too much

 

Plus, I am with the few who said we need some that is sporty and classy. No Honda Civic stuff......

 

Another idea.

 

Hmm, CF maybe??

 

That hood is friggin' HOT!!
