It'll flow with your car, and if you don't like it, you'll be able to sell it easily. Here's a seibon on the Red Wld350z (not sure the exact spelling) car-- it's even nicer in person.

Definitely will look good with your blue/black/gunmetal setup.

You can go as far as coating the hood with a transparent blue like this A4.

Never really seen it on the hood of a Z though.

hava i agree, i love those vented slot ones. Do you know if they make one like that in fiberglass?

failsafe- how do you feel about the water going into the engine bay because of the hood? does it really pour in there?

do you have anymore pics of your z with the CF hood? I have been looking everywhere for a DB with a CF hood...

car looks awesome!

I am still waiting on my DB, which is on order as we speak, and of course I am already getting mods prepared for it when it arrives how does this sound?
19" volk GT-7 (gunmetal or diamond black haven't decided)
bats overlays
CF oem hood
CF wing, (can't remember the name, but is almost exact to the nismo wing)
I have others but I am trying to slow down, the car isn't even here yet!!

The hood came with channels to prevent water from enetering the engine when it rains. But it hasn't rained here in a while so no need to install them.

In my opinion, CF hood only looks good on two colors - white, and white.

Theres this blue carbon kevlar hood on ebay for the G35 coupe. I was thinking of getting that on my CB. If you want, you can contact the seller and ask them if they have any for the 350Z. They are only 400.00
