Fujimura hood question....
 
1 Attachment(s)
I noticed on my stock hood there are 3 studs welded on the hood that goes into the hinge with a nut on each one and on the Fujimura hood there are only 2 threaded holes on the hood itself for the bolts to go through the hinge into the hood. Why is this? I'm assuming that the hood weighs less and they figure 2 bolts is enough.

Not related to your question; Im so jealous! Love that hood.

It's a defect, send it to me and I'll see if I can get to work on my car. :tup: Seriously though, check with Hotrodz, he had one on his car and would probably have a better idea

Actually, it's installed. Fits perfect. Thanks...

Pics of it installed, please :pics:

Give me some time for the pics. It is not CF and I'm having it painted, also it's going on a vert so you probably won't like it anyways.

That hood could be unfinished and mounted on a Ford Pinto and it would still look good :twocents:

It's going on this, color-matched. I'm trying to decide what to do with the mesh vents. Should I leave them stainless or go with black paint?

I could only find this picture of a grey z with black vents. If anyone can find a grey z with stainless vents please share.

I say black mesh unless you have other contrasting accent pieces that stainless mesh would accompany well.

The only thing I have is the logos and plate frame. Here is a couple of other views.

Black for sure with the black door handles and side marker lights

2string1 07-18-2021 10:57 AM

Black it is. Thanks for all your comments.

Hotrodz 07-18-2021 12:08 PM

Late to the party. The Fugi hood is the best looking aftermarket for the Z. It is a perfect fit without any modification or adjustment. I agree with everyone else on the vent color. Enjoy the hood and get ready for many compliments and questions!

Thanks Patrick, they're modified Aimgain canards I picked up from Wiggins when he parted out his car a few years back.

I still get an nervous eye twitch when I think about shipping the Fugi bumper.
