Special thanks to 35ounces for posting the template & to BoogieMike for creating them!

Now if...someone can provide on where to place the templates on the hood..that would be awesome

____________________________________________________________ ____________

I am officially going to go with the Nismo RS Hood, so if anyone has the templates to cut them out on the oem hood, please post! it would be greatly appreciated...and you'll help me save hundred of dollars to help me buy other mods that I will need!!!



Thank You.

 

Budget?

 

Knew I forgot something....

Budget posted to 1st post... around $600

Thanks SlideFox, saved me again.

 

Any of the Seibon hoods will work good in that price range. Another option you can do is have a body shop do a custom hood to replicate the Nismo RS. This is bvershage's 350Z that Intense Motorsports did the custom vents on his OEM hood....

 

What kind of FI?

For your budget I'd also consider doing some RS style cutouts or just designing your own cutouts.

 

edit: saw the budget, NM

 

Taurran,

I am planning to go with the PowerLab. Hopefully before mid-summer.

 

If you haven't condsidered other cooling mods, personally, there are other mods you can do for $600 that would help more than a vented hood. Especially if you don't wanna be "to showy".

 

^True. I think 750 should get you just about every cooling mod available.
300 for Radiator
180 for Hoses
150 for Thermostat
150 for Oil Cooler

 

^ I'd even add a breather tank.

 

K,

Thanks guys for the feedback.

As of now, I am going with the Nismo RS hood. And spend the money on cooling mods.

So, if anyone has the hood templates to the Nismo RS hood, please post...it would be greatly appreciated...and you'll help me save hundred of dollars to help me buy other mods that I will need!!!

Thank You

Oh and I am a Mack!! To answer your screen name.... Last name is Mack for real....

 

good stuff goin with the nismo rs hood. was planning on doing that as well.

 

so I assume a body shop can cut those vents without having to repaint? If they have to prep and repaint, so much for saving any money over a carbon hood.

 

I would say depending on how careful they are cutting it would depend on need of repainting...

 

Depends on the body shop! Even if you are going to have the hood repainted, you still get the quality and fitment of an OEM product, as well as keeping the OEM hood latch! Even trade, IMO!

 

What the heck is that thing? We're quickly approaching on riced out DSM territory with the mitsu diamonds cut out of the hood.

 

 

Yea I seen that thread this morning (hence the first reply)...thanks though.

And I guess I finally found a Mack...literally....Way to go PiMp!!! Now go get tested

Exact same thing I tought too. hahaha I was like woah when I saw that.

 

New Amuse hood replica....
