Anyone know of/ever converted a 90-93 hood? (I have an active '93)

[jesuscruz]

I know the solid hood was meant for aero. purposes but I don't really care for the look. Can a newer model hood with the grill be fit? I was thinking of maybe just finding a metal worker to make some alterations. I've put so much money into cosmetics(junction produce copy kit, paint, wheels...) that I just want to be FULLY satisfied, you know??? Thanks guys...NICO always comes through...

you can apparently bolt on a 94 front end.

Yes, you can bolt on a '94+ front end but you need everything.. including all lights, bumper, fenders and hood.

It might be cheaper to get the IMPUL grille.

[cccpman]

do you guys have any cost estimates on this sort of thing (or links?)

The only thing I really dislike about the 90q is that darn ugly hood, the ridges just come too close togather to look nice

I thought Greg said all mounting points were different?

Cheaper just to get a 1994+.

[cccpman]

cheaper, but the two people asking obviousally dont have a 94+

I keep doing searches, i cant find any references to doing something like this - any idea where gregs post where he talks about this is?

[maxnix]

Probably in the old Infiniti General before it all got split.

Ah...those were the days!

Greg is azhitman

The post is on a yahoo forum, which of course nobody linked to and really cant be found without at least a couple days of hard looking. The cost is apparently ~2,000 to get somebody else to put it togather, and the parts dont line up correctly (the trim). jesuscruz, im not sure if its less expensive to pay the 2k or pay somebody to do something custom to a hood (metal working idea, sounds allright i guess)

Well, remember the hood is designed to bend in a certain place during a head on collision. Why they bend upon closing when hinges get rusty from no lubrication.

[jesuscruz]

thanks guys...i'll post some results and pics of whatever i decide to get done.

[cccpman]

thank you jesuscruz - im sure there are plenty more of us out there all looking for things we can do
