FS: carbon fiber hood

I had it on my car for about two years but decided to put my old hood back on. I bought it from a carbon fiber shop in georgia but i dont know much more about it than that. Its in pretty good condition. Its got some scratches in the gel coat but nothing too major. I took a picture of the most significant scratch which you can see in the second pic. Right before i took it off i ran it through the car wash and there must have been something in the brush i used because it put some tiny swirls on the top. It has hood pins which i will include. The white dots you see is just sap from parking under a pine tree. I will clean it when someone comes to pick it up.

ide like to get $175 but i may be open to trades for suspension parts.

If you're willing to meet half way, I'll probably take it if we can get it to fit lol The last one I tried wouldn't latch down.

i think the latching is a common problem. I think its because the latch on the carbon fiber hood is a tiny bit larger than on the stock hood so it doesn't slide by the lock the same way. I had this on my old maxima too and i had to grind the latch on my car a little bit but then it fit perfectly both times and the stock hood still latched properly

Shoot me a PM when you get the chance and we'll talk. See what's involved and if you're willing to meet half way. Two hours is a long drive to take the chance of it not fitting.
