Both would be nice! I say, Go for the hood! However, if it's an fiberimages hood, good luck if you ever have to deal with them (lousy cust. service). Thier hoods are very nice though. I may try to buy one again someday!

Why on earth would you want a CF hood before a kit? I think a CF hood is the very LAST thing I would do to my car.

Carbon Fiber hoods are too much performance oriented. Your car is more about looks, no offense dude.. lol. It's an automatic, a CF hood is the thing modded out the A$$ Civics with engine swaps and gutted everything go for, as the last thing to reduce weight... It's also for looks yea, but for a Maxima, I think it's only great for heavily modded ones, or people looking to be as fast as possible NA. Get a full kit

i am not a hater of your car but i am however a hater of the front lip only club.. get the rest of the kit.. CF hood would look weird on your car with such a contrast and the chrome/shiny wheels.. i'd say get a scoop put in the hood, or a carbon fiber insert like kaminari makes for honda's..

Get the kit! Your color is so unique, why would you want to get rid of a good bit of it?

Get the full kit. Save the C/F hood for later, or IMHO, not at all.

I would get the kit first. the CF hood would go better after the kit is on first.

hey i just joined the "front lip only" club a couple nights ago, but i wont have it on till the end of the summer before i move out, and by that time ill probably have the whole kit, this was a one time chance to get it, only $150 and no shipping, i say get the kit, dont ruin the red paint, unless u paint the cf hood bc you like looks and performance

getting the CF hood before the rest of the kit is like getting 19" wheels with lowering the car

I agree with others that you should get the rest of the Stillen kit. It would look so NICE on the red car.

save up a few more months and get both. but if you cant do that get the rest of the kit. i think it will have more of a visual impact than the c/f hood.
