S14 Aluminum Hood??

Does anyone know of any places that sell oem style alloy body parts for 240sx's?? I am looking for a hood and possibly fenders down the road.And I am not a fan of carbon fibre at all.If anyone knows post up the links...

ThanksKendal

I doubt any company would be dumb enough to make an aftermarket aluminum hood for a 240, or any other car. Doesnt even seem smart to make one for a NSX hehe..

Get a CF hood and paint it.

There are plenty of cars with aluminum hoods though... the evo and the wrx or maybe just the sti hoods are aluminum

I know there are a few cars with alum hoods. Lol the NSX is an example, the whole cars body is made from aluminum...

What im saying is that with CF being lighter, much stronger, not much more expensive and.. paintible, theres no reason for an aluminum hood. Just doesnt make sense.

OEM manufactures do it because aluminum is cheap, and they make so many of them the cost of manufacturing them goes way down because of the volume produced. Aftermarket companies do not have that same luxury.

Aluminum is a pain in the balls to work with.
