I googled for pics and can't find a good pic of an 07 showing its hood. Either that, or they look the same.

Can someone post a good pic of an 07 so I can compare it to the 06 hood?

I don't mind the hood much, it's grown on me. The increased hp, true dual, twin intake, filled cubby, larger rotors and 7500 rpm redline make up for it nicely. I know the first rock chip I get on the raised part of the hood is gonna make me go crazy though. Yeah it's safe to say that I'll be one of the first to buy an 07... maybe even the first to buy an aftermarket hood for an 07 too. I gotta see it in black first before I issue the verdict.

I like the hood design....doesnt look bad at all. Not in the market for an 07 though since I just bought an 06 a few weeks ago.

Oh. Yeah...that makes the car look too dramatic.

After-market carbon fiber hood should do the trick...if it fits, that is.

I am not a physics engineer or anything but would that take away from aerodynamic advantage?

Judging by the public outcry already, I'm sure that there will be aftermarket hoods made to fit around this new engine. A CF vented hood with a scoop would be high on my wish list for mods. Still waiting on a nice lip that fits the 06-07 front end. For the lazy people who can't seem to find anything...


STFU already... you know you want it.

You're just suffering from hood envy is all.

Now that I look at it, it doesn't look that bad. But deftones, you're right. A hood scoop or even a hood air intake would look awesome.

Too bad nissan didn't think of it

Yeah, ok... that almost sounds realistic.
