Carbon Fiber hood

SATX_NISMO · 08-10-2013, 10:33 PM

Anyone know if they still make this CF hood and where I can find it? Checked Seibon and no luck. Thanks..!!

That's a 350z hood don't think there was a 370z variant

SATX_NISMO · 08-10-2013, 11:02 PM

Hmm ok. I noticed that too but a couple pics I found said it was for a 370z. Bummer , I really like the design.

that's semi false advertising because on the top it says 370Z, but read on the bottom:

Nissan 370Z Seibon VT Style Carbon Fiber Hood - HD0708NS350-VT
Fits: 2007-2008 Nissan 370Z Fairlady

stay away

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like the info is contradicting on the web site. But I'm gonna rule the hood out since it appears to be for the 350 only. Bummer really liked the hood, might just stick with the OEM hood unless something else catches my eye.

What are you looking for in an aftermarket hood, besides just looks.
Any specific cooling requirements or locations you want/need, trying to cut some weight?

SATX_NISMO · 08-12-2013, 09:29 PM

Honestly mainly just for looks. Although the engine bay could use some venting during our 100* + weather here in Texas. I also realize that I wouldn't be saving any weight. I'm also considering going with the carbon fiber rear diffuser so the carbon hood would compliment it.

I would suggest taking a look at some of the Seibon options, they have the standard TS hood along with a few other options. I believe a few people have liked the VIS hood, though hit or miss on fitment, and then there is CarbonSignal. They have a V1 style (search for Sphon's car as he has it), and a V2 which just got finished up and a few pictures posted.
Only issue with CarbonSignal is you use your factory hood, they basically send you cutouts to put into the hood.
