Default 2006 Zs with 07-08 Hoods

Just like the title sais, any on here have a 2006 Z with 07-08 hood on their car. Specifically im looking for pics of the Lemanst Sunset color. I just recently got in a wreck and my hood go damaged and i need a new hood and i figured why not throw on a 07-08 hood.

Why do you think this would look any different than an 07 Z? It's the same car with a bump in the hood!

well i personally like the 07 hood better than my 06 hood that i had on there. SO why not just upgrade when the insurance is paying for the damage.

why not buy an aftermarket one?

I don't believe it's an exact fit for what you want to do, someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

cuz the insurance wont cover a aftermarket hood unless i pay the difference and quite honestly i dont feel like payin a difference. I think the hood bolts on directly its nothing different beside the hump in the middle cuz of the HR motor.

The '07-'08 hoods will fit on '03-'06. However, '03-'06 hoods won't fit on '07-'08.

check on ur estimate and see how much they are paying for ur hood replacement cause sometimes the aftermarket is cheaper thats what i did on my car.............. i got 650 for my original hood and i bought a carbon fiber for 550 and the bodyshop re-inbursed me the the money just make sure u tell them before they order any parts

I think I like the 07+ hoods better. The hump seems to flow better with the rest of the car.

Go ahead and get the 07+ hood but it really doesn't have practical use on your 350z besides coving up the engine bay since you don't have the HR motor.

I think all hoods don't have any practical use except covering the engine bay.

WTF are you trying to say, you type like high school drop out. For the OP, go ahead on with it if you're set on it.
