The only one I have seen is a buddy on the FB Nismo group (Chang) he has a white one with a CF; looks good.

I guess I was hoping to see basically a stock 07-08 hood, CF, but with vents as well. The only vented ones I see are flat with no raise like 07-08 hoods.

I've looked everywhere and think I may be outta luck....

I will search members profiles for "CF hood," and post the photos here. Do you have anything else for me to do today?

yeah there are tons of Z photos and threads with CF hoods, I do not see many nismo ones though. I know it is basically the same look, though I was curious how they look installed contrasting the grey on the body kit of the nismo.

I think the closest one to what I was dreaming about is the Seibon VT; But again, that middle section is flat, not raised.

Ah well, I'll keep hunting. Thanks DavidV, if you need to send me a search invoice, let me know...

I like this better than "It's never been done before. Call yourself a visionary, a trailblazer even."

Thanks for the replies all. I should have been a little clearer in my 1st post as it is a bit of a generic question.

Looking for a CF hood, but one that has vents on each side and a raise in the middle like the 07-08's. I looked through pretty much every manufacturer of CF hoods I could think of and couldn't find a model like that. I doubt anyone makes one in the style I am after, was just hoping I was wrong.

That car closest, if they made one like that but with a few vents on either side is kinda what I had imagined.

Something like this would be ideal http://www.flickr.com/photos/7810942...in/photostream

Flo-Rida, I feel a little dumb. Looking at that Seibon TS again today, I believe it is exactly the 07-08 style with vents along the side. Dunno why I thought it was flat....weak eyes

Thanks again for all the links etc...

It looks flat on their site, if you didn't specify 07-08 while searching the for the hood... it'll be the 03-06 hood which doesn't have the "bump".

No need to feel dumb... if you don't know what it is, your next expected to know where to look.
