LOL i was just like you about 4 months ago wanting the stillen but didnt like the hood. Just go turbo, I Know it sound like im just acting like one of the guys that say just go turbo... turbo .....turbo...., but i have had them all roots style superchargers, N20, and turbo and now twin turbo and i can say that turbo are much better. Although i like a nice roots style blower the hood sucks for are cars but on the G's it look pretty good. Find a good tuner and start trying to find your goals first then your budget and finally hats in your area.

No other hood out will clear the stillen blower. The blower needs a lot of clearance, not just for the blower unit itself, but for the black manifold as well as the intake's mouth/port that attaches to the rear of the blower. That would be a lot of clearance and a wide area to clear under any hood. Trust me, i've looked into this as well, before I went SC hehehehe.

The Stillen hood looks great. It is an acquired taste. I never understood why someone whould wnat a two tone car just to save weight. Aside from the gap between the bumper it looks fine. It reminds me of the old musle cars that had the cowl hood. I would not get different hood, I am looking to get thier front bumper when I get home.

From my research over the past few weeks, only the 2 hoods offered by Stillen will clear the SC. Nobody else has bothered to manufacture one due to low # of potential customers. Bummer.
The hoods aren't great but they're not terrible. At least on a SB they aren't so bad. Lighter colors like white might look a bit weird.

I for one do not mind the looks of the Stillen (SC clearing) hoods for the Z and the G. But I agree it is an acquired taste, once you get used to the way a car with one on looks, it looks kinda plain when the stock hood goes back on.
Yes, he (Mike S.'s ) Vision619 did opt to leave his CF Stillen hood on even after we removed his SC. Here is Mike S.'s (Vision619) car that we JWT TT'ed, and my G with the Stillen hoods along with a couple more of our cars with them on, I think they look pretty good.

Hey, those all looked pretty good.
Whatcha ya think about the cf hood on a super black?
(I think this is BlackTT350Z's car. I hope he doesn't mind me posting it.)
