I am the odd one out I guess. I like the hood, looks aggressive. However, it would look cleaner if we could drop the cowl an inch lower to make it not as extruding. It would flow so much better if a little bit lower versus how tall it is in the design.

Much better than I was expecting.

Put me in the like column! Can you render that with some color applied to the car?

This is very different from anything that's out there at the moment. Considering the supercharger that this is going to be covering. I feel that this design is probably the only one that makes sense. I'm on board.

Now the only thing that needs to be delivered is that this kit isn't just a marketing spoof, that it can hold up to it's hype and promises of reliable power.

Whenever I click on this thread I think, "this would set my Z apart from the crowd"

Let's keep up the progress but within a decent time frame. No more overpromising and underdelivering, i get enough of that from work :icon17:

Can you make the pictures bigger so that I can see them. :eek: :rofl2:

That hood lucks MUCH better with that raised area. I'm an HR, but I could use a hood exactly like that to clear a GTR manifold with 6 additional injectors/fuel rail up top.

Dumb Q, but anybody know if 370 hood will drop onto a HR 350z? I originally sold my HR hood to a DE owner, and it bolted right on and lined up perfectly. If it's possible I will keep an eye on this hood and 99% probably run it to clear the GTR manifold.

Hey, with my old eye's I can appreciate the big pics. :icon17:

For me to view them. I have to put them on a 25" screen. :icon14: They're just too big for my laptop.

Really????

2 Screens wide... I like it. Should make it my screen saver. :tup:

What about a rendering on a stock body?

For those that don’t like the hood. You can always cut the hood. I and rjm have always said the hood would need a cowl. The supercharger sits 1.5” above the strut bar and runs as far forward as the serpentine belt and pulleys. So if you maintain that height you will see a hood cowl is absolutely necessary. If you want someone else to develop a hood I and rjm are more than happy to share the dimensions. It takes a lot to develop a hood like this. But we are happy to help the community find a hood option everyone will love.

When you are sticking that far above the oem hood. The cowl hood is the only way the cover everything. Get over it people. It's how you style and blend the cowl into the rest of the hood.

Finally.


Somebody said it

Didn't say i disliked the hood. Would just like to see it with a stock body.

^^^Agreed! I know I am an ******* and I'm working hard to be the perfect *******! So yeah, what he said!

What happend to the hood render from early on in this thread. Was on a white Nismo, can't see those pics now.

I liked that design 100x better.

Still there. Post #952.

Small update: wrapping up throttle body adapters and then pulley brackets and then production ready kit goes into final testing.

Lol no not this one!!! :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

There was another render like way back in mid-early last year on a white 2015+ Nismo. Can't get to thos pics anymore

If it was photobucket they cut all accounts to where you have to pay a premium to post links on forums.

Do you mean the one with all the vents?

He's talking about this one. Obviously this one wont clear the Whipple, so it's not an option.

That's the one, MadScisnails nailed it!

I ******* love that hood, I think it looks baller az! If only that one were real I'd wanna jump all over it!

Update: pre production throttle body adapters should be done tonight. Will post pictures as soon as I can.

Thought I'd share this for those of you who don't use other social media. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...21738bb348.jpg

It’s got an automatic tensioner/oil checker!

No....................that's a belt oiler. :tup:

The pictures are pretty misleading. There is plenty of room for the dipstick. ;)

Leghorn Foghorn to the little chicken hawk. "It's a joke son!" :rofl2:

Ohhh I got it hence the ;)

You called?

I'm about to buy a GTR to take to zdays...

LMAO, no supercharged Z for ZDAYZ for the second time!

I bout flipped out at insurance quotes given on one ,,, $$$$

Yeah.....................that's a deep pockets car in more ways then one. :icon14:

What supercharger? I thought this thread was about a hood that also doesn't exist.
