So is this hood at factory height at the lower areas? And raised in the middle?

Finally got my hood installed on Sunday....she is "BAD ***"

Notice any temp reductions?

I bought this hood on impulse even it looked so sexy I had to have it. Here is my assessment of the hood:

First off, pictures do not do it any justice it look much better in person. According to my brother the hood was extremely well packed and took him about half an hour to unwrap. The installation was simple and straight forward. The fitment is spot on, no adjustment needed.

The hood is fully functional and reeks of quality. As you can see in the photos, you can not see daylight from the inside vents. The hood is scooped so the air flows into the vents and is funneled to the outside vents which are place vertically on the side of the hood which gives it a unique look. The vents have gutters to move water down the hood and drain in front of the engine bay.

I drove back home on Sunday night and the temperature was in the mid 50s. Let's just say the 3.5 to 4 hour trip went by quickly as I40 is lonely highway late at night on a Sunday. The hood performed flawlessly, there were no strange vibrations, no noticeable or weird flexing or unusual sounds. This included runs in the mid triple digits...oops!!! :p

When I got home I did the most used method for checking for heat coming through the vents...I waved my hand in front of the vents and hot air was being emitted from the side vent in a significant way. The vent near the windshield didn't seem to have as much heat coming from them but there was warm air non the less. It could simply be a function of the length of the vent and the opportunity for the air to cool by the time it reach that far back as well.

All in all I believe the hood is differently worth the money. Saving for a clear bra now!!! :excited:

Hood looks great, so many options for the 370z :tup:

I don't have a water temp gauge so I can't say. My oil cooler temps, run on the low side in cool temps 160* to 180*!

Very nice! Looks great!

Thanks for the props my friend!!!

Looks badace my friend. Can't wait to see this gem in person:tup:

We should meet at Vivid when I come down!!!

Vivid, like porn :ugh2:

Subscribed... I want one in the near future :p

You bet it's like 10mins from me and down the street from where I work . Whatcha heading to vivid for? Besides the obvious porn videos :icon17:

Todd wants takesome sexy photos of the Z car since I purchased the hood through them. She's a porn star wanna be and I said okay to the request!!! :eek:

You don't have any problems with rain or anything? I'm thinking about gettin this same hood :)

No not really, just make sure you cover any electronic. It will leave you with a dirty engine bay.

Does anyone know if the 2014 hood is the same as the 2012 hood? No one makes any for the 2014 but choices abound for the 2012.

I want a Seibon BD. One site listed it for the 2014 but no one else did. I also don't want to get a knock off - I want the real deal. Does $625-$875 sound like the cost of a genuine Seibon? The MSRP is $1020.

It's the same. The only change on the car is the front bumper.

Cool, thanks!

Dude you'll love the hood! Not sure if I already spoke to you or not but I would check the vendors on here that sell Seibon parts, they might be able to get you a better deal. PM me if you have any questions.

Since I'm already here I'll drop this one on y'all:

Yo, what hood is that?

I do! I do! I do love it!
 

The first time I saw this hood a few days ago I knew I MUST have it! It's the perfect blend of style and function.

Seibon BD hood.

I like this hood :)

Just ordered mine! It's back ordered so it'll be 6-8 weeks I'm told. Taking it to Jtran for paint and install...

Got mine a couple of years ago (you can find it in this thread) and I like it a lot.

I have the same hood! Just realized that I started this thread when I got my hood lol

Pics of rain guard? How does it attach?

Rain guard simply screws into the hood. There are small tapped holes in the under side of the hood. The rain guard takes up the whole center section of the hood and really restricts the flow of air... I bought the hood for cooling reasons and dont drive in the rain often so I dont need them...

To be honest I used your car as my deciding factor when I was hood shopping, it was this or the Bayspeed BS hood. They both offered a center vent but after I saw the way you had painted it and the rear spoiler, I decided to piggy backed off that idea since what I was doing was so similar. Guess this would be a better time than never to say thanks! Lol

love that hood man!!!

hey Jamaica what hood do you have man? and how functional is it, I have a Stillen supercharger, and it gets really hot under there.

Just had to bump this thread...

Bob, you're hood is badassssss! Glad I got to see it.

Looks Good. I wish more people had this hood, so I could get a better look at it. Most of the vented hoods out there are too flashy for my taste.http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/pro...2915250735.jpg

Thanks my friend that was an awesome time, I was looking at pictures of you Z on line this weekend. Some day we will do it again.

Thanks...that is why I think it is so sexy and well matched. It's not over stated and looks aggressive at the same time. I don't think there are a dozen of the Fugimura hoods in North America so that was another reason I splurge for it.

X2! Whole car is very well done.

Thank you brother...
