Default 08 engine hood on an 03 ???
Can a 08 hood fit on an 03 without any modifications?

Also would 08 have enough room for the Stilen SC?

do you actually think the hood looks better? or are you trying to make it seem like you have an 08? anywayz, to each his own.

to each his own, but i actually like the new hoods. it makes the car looks more aggressive and it goes with the new headlights and tailights. in my opinion of course

+1 this is why I wanna do it. Its OEM/stock, nicer than the 03-05 hoods, adds a nice touch of agressiveness, and isn't too expensive.

great decision on just buying the new hood, it would be kinda lame buying a new z based on different styling of the hood

Because it looks better. Also the additional clearance will allow air to circulate over the top of the engine better. Nissan didn’t design those new hoods the way they did for looks alone.
