Carbon Fiber Hood - Flat design, unlike stock?
 
Hey guys, can you please tell me if any of you are aware of a carbon fiber hood for sale, that has a Flat Design unlike the stock one which has a groove in it.

Thanks in advance.

If you're talking about a simple flat carbon hood without any kind of other aero mods, you won't be able to find something affordable.

Either you get holes/scoops/vents or you get the OEM lines.

Why would you want a flat hood anyways? The stock OEM lines on your hood match the groves on your roof. Are you going to flatten out the groves on your roof as well? :confused:

When the 350z first came out it came out with a flat hood... didn't look good which is why Nissan redesigned it a few years later and gave it an aggressive looking raised hood. :driving:

Partially, the redesign in the hood was a throwback to the older Z days when the hood had that bulge in it. :tup:

I believe it was more because of the HR engine on the 07-08 needed the extra clearance.

People really hated the hump when it came out but I guess it's kinda grown on them.

I just like the flat hood design better.

Personal choice, nothing more.

Sucks it can't be had unless custom made... which puts it out side of the reasonable price range for such part.
