The moment you change the way a car looks, you create strong division. I do not envy anyone whos task it is to design body work. Personally I think it looks better than I would have expected.
Yup, that was my experience with the development of the hood vents!

I think it looks pretty good. Personally I would just cut my hood or run without a hood entirely.

Depending on results, I was totally sold on this kit until I saw that hood. I appreciate the work that went into it but there's no way I'd have that on my car. Hopefully someone else ends up finding a more sleak way to conceal the extra height.

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.

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

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

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.
