As requested. Sorry it took so long. I work(ed) in the oil and gas industry which has tanked so I took a job in Florida. I moved to Ft. Myers in September and life is just now starting to take on a passing semblance of order. I was out of work for almost a year but now I have a job, $20k in debt, and a very cool and clean '14 Nismo, so all is good.

I went to home depot on Saturday and as I went to park noticed this beauty, so I parked next to and took a couple of pics. I's nice but I'm glad I went with the '14.

Sweet hood, and welcome to Florida. I've been thinking about this hood myself. With the FL rain, how do you keep rain from entering engine bay? Unless you just don't care too much about it

I just bought the seibon TS hood and some aerotech pins, this install write up is awesome, extremely detailed! Looks like the pins are going to be fun.
I have a couple questions for ya...

Do you need to install the 2 stock hood latching parts when you already have the pins? I thought that was the point of the the pins... to be able to open the hood without having to pull the lever inside the car (and to make everything a little lighter by removing all the stock hood locking stuff... even though these carbon fiber hoods weigh more than the stock hood Haha!)

Where did you purchase the new washer fluid lines/nozzles and hood seal? I found them on courtesy parts, $84 for the seal and $67 for the washer fluid stuff, kinda pricey but whatever
