I always liked the e92 m3 v8's subtle powerdome hood. Vorsteiner made a mint with a GTS3 version looks the bizz!

Obviously our dome would be a lot bigger.

I'd hit that and I didn't even want vents. Please, someone make a version like this for the G/Q.

Is this going to be water-to-air setup?

Personally, I'd like to see a hood that has styling elements of the 240z in it.

No specific pics, but I always liked the dome in the 240z hood. Maybe something like that with a some scoop or venting added in.

I've always liked the cowl induction style hood scoops....unsure exactly how many inches of rise is needed.

I think we could rock that with the stock lines that are in the OEM hood

Unfortunately, or fortunately (depending on the design), the success of this kit will be determined by the hood design. The hardcore guys won't care, but the majority will judge it by the esthetics.

Curtis_J · 02-19-2017, 05:50 PM

Agreed. I'd really love to see something that is as subtle as possible, while remaining muscular in profile, and it's gotta look like it's meant to be there, as opposed to an afterthought.

If you have a good body shop, the other option would be to simply add a bulge, in metal, and repaint the hood. Cut, weld, paint. Honestly, it should be offered as an option for both the 370z and the G37/Q60. Wouldn't cost a whole lot to produce in quantity either. We'd have the option of using our original hood or purchasing a second hood and modifying it.

How far do we expect the supercharger to sit above the outside face of the stock hood?

A lot have problems working with aluminum. Regular shops that is.

Guys the supercharger peak is ~6" above the timing cover. The real question is how far forward will it sit and what is the largest pulley being used. Once I have those details I can start making up the hood. I am still awaiting the hood to start doing general mock ups.
