CF hood reviews?

Spstone · 09-10-2015, 12:22 PM

Was planning on keeping the exterior pretty stock than got the vision of a CF hood with CF roof cover, maybe try to find a NISMO wing in CF. Leave the rest Pearl White.

The problem is I started up the google machine and found 400 different sites with 75 different manufactures ranging in price from $300 to $3000 for all similar looking hoods. I know not every thing is created equal and price normally makes a strong statement on quality. So realistically who are the best manufactures to go with? What are the pro's and con's of different manufactures?

One more newb question, Is the hood on the NISMO the same size as all other hoods? I read with the NISMO body kit the car is 6 inches longer than stock, don't know how this effects hood length if at all.

I'm a newbie to the import game and generally do full metal body work or fiberglass parts so any help would be huge.
