Nah....well whats so special about the GT-R's hood? The NACA ducts? You can buy those and do it yourself without having to buy a whole new hood.

Actually, there is a thread somewhere here where someone did just that on their 370Z, and they did an excellent job. Don't ask me where the thread is...it's a forum; posts are characteristically hard to find.

Yes, it's ZETO.

I wouldn't do it man. One of the nice things about the Z is the uninterrupted curved lines. If you look there's hardly a strait line on the body. Having these vents on the hood would look out of place and tacky. Just my opinion though.

Exactly. And what are the NACA ducts used for in the GT-R anyway? Intercooler feed? Downforce aid?

NACA = National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
