Does anyone have the template used to make a nismo rs type hood? I've been looking at lots of the pictures lately and all the different people that have done it but I would need to see a template. And how much it costed and how long it took to do if you don't mind.

Thanks, BBB

 

post some pics of this

 

Yea, i'd like to see what's going on here? Clueless.

 

hes trying to cut the vents in his stock hood like the RS concept hood.

 

Hey, that looks pretty darn good. If i don't get the hood i want, i may end up trying something like this out? Not too shabby.

 

looks good, maybe he should sell the template for this. I would be interested.

 

Templates are here:

It's such a nice touch for people who prefer to not spend alot of money for a new look.

 

I have the template, but it seems that where the cuts will be made, you will be cutting the support structure of the hood. Not so sure I wanna weaken the hood.

 

hood pin it then.

 

I dunno about cutting the OEM hood. I think I'd rather just get a carbon fiber hood with vents in it and spray it the same color as the car for a stealthier look. All in all though, I think it looks pretty sweet.

 

love that bumper by the way. Nismo version 2!!!! RS concept

 

thanks for all the quick replies guys!

 

wow i was looking for this as well... now lets see if i can make it look right.

 

So could someone explain to me the templates that he has on the first link...when you open the actual size one and expand the picture to the full size it looks HUGE and then when you open the actual size single vent it looks pretty small but maybe I'm wrong about the single vent but definately not wrong about the actual size picture.

 

It's not about pins. If I weaken the structure underneath, it may no longer close flush/properly. You really appreciate this when you see FRP and Carbon hoods installed on cars. They don't have the same structural integrity that the stock hood has and you can end up with a hood that doesn't close flush with the fenders.

 

That RS concept grows on me everyday....I'm a fan.

 

Anything on the size of the templates comment? And how much this would probably cost at a body shop? And, would this be a worry in the rain if I have a pop charger? Or could I run into any other problems I really want to do this because it makes the car look much more aggressive but don't want to mess anything up.
