Default About 2007 Z hood and 2003-2006

Hi im new to my350z.com and im getting my car soon but i was wondering if the 2007 hood could be replaced with the 03-06's hoods because the 07 hood just looks ugly to me =/ so any idea if i can replace the 07 hood with a 2003-06 hood and if i could where can i get a 03-06 hood

Yes you can. Order one from your local dealership. Jk. No you cant, will not clear, the hood is like that for a reason.

I thought about this to at first, except im sure that a nice cf hood would fit, maybe not? the hood eventually grows on you believe me. Now I like mine.

I've got nothing but compliments on the hood on my 07. That's what makes it stand out as an 07, what's so bad about that?

The hood on the '07 models was specifically designed to fit the twin intakes on the VQ35HR. The '03-06 models have single intakes for the venerable VQ35DE, so there would be clearance issues if you tried swapping hoods.

I love my 07 hood and definitely wouldnt swap it for anything but a OEM style CF replacement. It definitely sets you apart from the other model year Zs. Be a proud member of the hood hump club

an 07 would have no clearance issues on the 03-06, but I'd still check and make sure that it's a simple swap. Contact a local Nissan Parts department to be sure.
