Looks sick. Buy a single exhaust. And unless that hood is dry carbon put your lighter OEM hood back...

Car looks great overall, but the cf hood has to go because it throws the color off. You have one black spot on the car, and the rest is in one uniformed color. It doesn't look right. I agree with the rest of the guys, put back the stock aluminum hood which weighs less than the CF hood(unless its full dry carbon).

Not feeling the CF hood either. I'd consider some type of vented hood, but would still paint it body color.

I know most of you disapprove of the CF hood, but that's the whole point guys. I want it to stand out from the other thousand or so Nismo's out there. What good is it having every single car look alike? That is just me though, I've always liked to be different. More mods to come, but CF is staying for a while.

I just went to a local speed shop and had them call Seibon to order one. If you go to their website it does not list them having hoods for 07-08 but they do. They also come in a few different vented styles too. The only thing is I had to wait 3 months to get it.

The CF hood looks fine to me. It matches all the wheels, the body kit color, etc.

Stand out? Lol.....If you want to do that, why not just buy a Civic and put on some fart can exhaust? On a serious note though, if you want to stand out, you have to choose parts that flow with the theme. Like your CF hood, just that alone is not going to get you noticed and be different than any other Z that has a CF hood. What i suggest is to add CF roof overlay to compliment the hood, because it flows if you look at the Z from the front.
