anyone with a custom hood?

[Burtonboarder950]

I just realized i havent seen a coupe yet with a custom hood. Im deff considering one with black mesh grills in it ;]. Does anyone have one thats not stock? picsss!

[SHIFT_COUPE]

None available that I know of.

[TheBourneAltimatum]

well AIT will have one soon...but in the meantime all you can get is true Carbon fiber that looks exactly like the stock one

[FGFCacoupe]

Where can you get that from

[Burtonboarder950]

i thought we share the same hood with the altima sedan...why not just use one of theirs?

[mcheddadi]

there is a custom hood... it's been released last year. it's from VIS and it's carbon fiber.

The only thing I don't like about CF hoods it always looks weird having a black CF hood on a red or blue car. But I imagine the weight reduction is more important the aesthetics.

Paint it.

[adidas2go]

true story!

[spockrock]

yes this is possible but isn't the point of CF also to show off its Carbon Fiber, kind of like chrome or stainless steel??

and I am officially retarded.

[adidas2go]

yea, cf is really a waste in my opinion. The weight saved from a cf hood is maybe 10 pounds, which isn't gonna make any difference, anywhere. So the only real point would be aesthetics, and I think cf is a bit played out in the car world at this point...

[spockrock]

I guess if some one really wanted a custom hood they could go to shop, or do it themselves.

[vballer22]

Paint it.

Nonsense. Everyone knows from playing forza that you can't paint carbon fiber.

Jk. Im really looking foward to gran turismo though.

You will see one in a couple of months from ED. Its a carbon fiber hood with workable vents.

Cowl Induction?

[jinhsuh]

i have the GT5 prologue and they don't have the coupe in there. maybe they will when the actual one comes out. so... is the hood of a 4 door the same as the coupe?

[mcheddadi]

lol...yes

[adidas2go]

Na, not cowl induction, just straight vents. I'll let Vince tell you about them, don't want to give away his secrets!

[Loop]

Yes, Blake is correct.

Sooner or later its going to be posted, so I mine as well let you guys in too. The picture is just a rendering on how the vents were going to be layed out. So don't mind the paint in the picture, the final product is a full carbon fiber hood. Inside the vents are meshed as well if anyone was wondering. Once again this is just a rendering. The final product will look 10x better.

[racingtiger03]

that just looks BA to me. that combined with the stillen fascia and a splitter = perfection.. well maybe not the splitter lol

[Canadian Coupe]

Damn... if that had Cowl Induction it would be so SWEET!

[Canadian Coupe]

Drool... something like the cowl induction on the GT hood in the middle of the Coupe hood up above would look absolutely SICK!

[adidas2go]

Im talking to VIS right now about using the 08 altima sedan hood. Could possibly turn into other cf hood options.

[ESP]

Something I've always wondered about...with the aftermarket hoods that have the huge vents in them, isn't it extremely likely that water can get sucked into a WAI? I know it's pretty tough to do it with a proper CAI, but I mean if your intake is right beneath an opening and it's raining out (even just a little bit) isn't hydrolock inevitable? It doesn't take much H20 to clog up an engine!

I have way to much time at work.

Loop. any word on yours?

[Afflicted]

I like the looks of carbon fiber, I remember back when it started to be the thing to do when I was in high school and arguing with my mom about why I wanted to put a black hood on my car. In my opinion for street us it is for looks and a symbol that you can spend this kind of money on your car so it isn't paint to show it off, then for real race application is solely for reducing weight with no time to paint it so you can interchange out the sections if it becomes damaged, then for supercars it is for reducing weight but it gets paint to truely make the car a supercar having the best of all worlds.
