Hello,
I was thinking of getting a carbon hood for my G but I think it might look kind of strange. My G is in the LS(lakeshore slate) color. Does anyone have any pictures of what this would look like? Any opinions? I was also thinking of maybe getting it painted and maybe fading the color in the vented area. I am interested in all opinions.

 

Seen a LS G35 in person with a CF hood, thought it looked nice just need the other extra mods to make it all flow.

+1 on the painting, i would def paint the sides if i got a CF Hood

 

i think itll look good. do it. however, i dont think your billet grille with a cf hood will flow so if you get it then toss the grille

 

^^^+1 What type of hood you thinking of getting? Oem or something else....

 

(dont know if youre asking me or the op...but) ill be getting the ts style hood in a few months

and i think the op is thinking about the ts style too..

 

itll look nice!

 

I think it will look nice and I agree with aHero4Eternity about geting rid of that billet grille if you do get a CF hood.

 

dont wanna thread jack but has anyone seen a cf hood on a twilight blue g?...without it being painted on the sides?...im gonna be posting pics real soon of my car...cf oem hood, ionic dynamics grill, oem lip, lowered on tein stechs...but still oem 18in rims!! (painting hyper black for the time being)...just wanted to know if anyone has seen something similiar so i can get an idea of what my car will look like...ill be upgrading to the oem 19in and painting them hyper black to..so that should complete the look...thanks!

sorry to the op...looks like i should have just created another thread!!

 

I think it would look good as long as you paint part of it to help it flow with the car.

My car is not LS and this is the Stillen hood but you can get an idea of what I mean.

 

^ are those HALO Eyes? or is it just the reflection of the pic???

 

I agree if I was to get the CF hood I would probably take off the billet grill. I was thinking of getting the Seibon G35 TS Carbon Fiber Hood. I was mainly thinking about painting the hood like the one that is painted on the APR Wide Body kit.

 

yep, thats how ill be doing it too.

 

I found this one online, can you actually make use of the air scoop or is it just for looks?

I am referring to the top hood. I wonder how a carbon fiber hood would look on a black coupe. May be not too hot.

 

I'd stay away from VIS. I distributed their products for over a year and they have no quality control. 2 out of every 5 hoods would be so deffective (fitment and/or weave) that I would have to send them back because I felt so bad selling such poor quality pieces.

The vents are functional in that they allow hot air to escape the engine bay, lowering the under the hood temps. I have all the Seibon hoods in stock and on sale. PM me if anyone has questions

If you're in SOCAL talk to BOBSHUAI, he has the best prices on Seibon carbon fiber hoods. No one will beat his price.

Here the hood on my car, I'm still waiting for 'HERO' to sell me his stock grill (sorry it was early in the morning.)so I can paint it black to match the hood.
