Hey,
Name's Will. I daily drive a black 2004 enthusiast, bought it in september. It's got a few mods, but nothing major. It had an AAM plenum spacer, and the Stillen wing when I got it. I put a JWT pop charger on it, and after I met an animal at 50mph in December I had to replace the hood, a fender, and the front bumper. So I had the front emblem shaved and bought a VIS CF hood.

Next step is going to be a CD009 tranny, clutch, and flywheel. my 5th gear is just starting to grind when shifting at higher rpms. Figured might as well do the clutch and flywheel while I was replacing the tranny.

I'm a member on 350Zmotoring as well.

Thanks! yea, the hood actually isnt the one I ordered... It was supposed to be a seibon TS hood. But after dealing with 2 months of eff-ups from the people I ordered it through I was just happy to get a hood. I would have sent it back but I was tired of dealing with them. It fits great, I didnt lose any money, and I'm happy with it. It looks better in person but I know alot of people dont care for vented hoods.

Thats a hardcore hood for a car that looks and performs so stock.

Kinda like a boob job on an old, ugly b!tch, why?

Well the oem hood was FUBAR'd after running into a deer. I wanted to get a CF one eventually and figured might as well get it when I needed a hood. Why waste money buying twice, ya know?

After I get a new trans I'll drop the car on some coilovers, get some nice wheels, and do some more engine work, etc. But I've got to pay the bills and such. It'll all get done in time.
