Please post some ideas and designs for carbon fiber hoods you would like to see on your 350z.

Vents, No vents, rounded vents, sharp vents, etc.

 

how is this?

 

My favorite so far is the Kaminari hood. That scoop is fu**in' sweet!. I think the Top Secret is kinda weird, because from all the angles I've seen it from, it appears that the vents are not in corresponding alignment. I agree with VQ, though, the Hasemi and Nismo are also nice. Something like the Veilside hood is a little too flashy though.

 

I don't suppose you guys would know a rough price range for a carbon hood for the 350?

 

350Z hood will be in full production as early as next month.


Please visit our website for more info about our products.

( www.oetuning.com )

Target price should be in the 6-800 range, depending on the final design.

 

Maybe one that has a similar style to stock with a low cowl induction bulge. A CF gauge pod for a hood mounted fuel pressure gauge would be cool.

 

Thanks I appreciate the input, I figured I might as well get a CF hood since mine was just recently chipped from stupid rocks. I'd rather sink the money into a new hood as opposed to repainting my hood for the 2nd time now.

 

What would be the weight difference between our aluminum hood and the carbon fiber one?

 

Any CF hood is good... as long as it's PAINTED!

 

We will be posting data once the product of the 350z starts.

But here is an example,

As for our Subaru WRX hood ( aluminum stock ) weighs about 25lbs.

O.E. Tuning's CF hood weighs 12lbs.

I can't say much, but the our Z33 hood will be one of a kind.


Should be able to see a prototype as early as next month.

 

We do offer color spec Carbon fiber hoods, but it's by special order only.

Here is an example on our Acura TL-s painted candy blue. From some angles, you really can't tell its a CF hood.

 

hi

 

Uh......

 

Hey guys relax, I know some people he sold carbon fiberhoods to. Just saw that he started to post. One stray post isn't gonna kill all you guys right?????

 

Personally I wish they made the veilside hood in CF. I am waiting on a company I know of to make a replica of it in CF! Just need to find at least 10 people to buy it in CF.
