Haven't heard of any companies making CF Hood's for AC's that are on the "newer" side. I would love to have one on my baby with vents like the Carbon Creations GT Concept hood and a carbon fiber trunk with a spoiler molded into it which I can find no problem.

The 2008-09 Trunk should fit on the 10+ coupe. As for the hood, I only heard that OEM style CF hood is available for the 10+ Coupe, however, I found this:

*EDIT: I think the first picture is not for the Altima Coupe 10+, if you look at the 2nd picture, it is the OEM style hood

Looks nice, but too plain for my taste. I'd prefer a cf hood w/ vents to give it that wow factor lol. I guess a front lip and some coilovers will be next.

Our aluminum hoods are so light that cheap CF doesn't really make sense, save for the look of it.

I do love the AIT trunk with the integrated fin spoiler tho :naughty:

Yeah same here, but looks weird to me without a hood to match it

Carbon fiber is ugly/ricey imo, unless maybe it's black car

lmfao! almost actually..

The trunk looks good on my car you have to see it in person. I'll eventually color match it with the car once it gets chipped or scratched (god forbid) you can call it ricey but this thing is $900 and weighs nothing when compared to OEM trunk.

Color match a carbon fiber trunk? Seems pretty cool. Would it still have the wavy design on the trunk?

Going to be the antagonist here :inout: ...

lol yah, the CF may be low quality but it's still a lot lighter. To be very honest, the CF parts for our cars are junk and not near the real thing (except AIT for the most part), which is why they are not light and also way overpriced as well for what they are.

Not trying to really be an as* but...
CF is also not ricey, in any way. unless you also call Fararri /Lamborghini/maseratti/Pagani or any car 3-4x the value of our car with CF rice burners :( :nono:... Care to define rice and the relationship to real CF parts other then the obvious stuff :ohno: ?

The AIT CF trunk is very nice in actuality, compared to a lot of spoilers out there to get the same look. So, I like ur trunk sanosuke (no-h0m0 lol ;) )....

The carbon fiber trunk looks that way because it's made of carbon fiber. It's just like any other part, you can leave it unpainted with that matte black color (or in this case carbon fiber) or you can get it painted/ color matched.
