Question regarding hood clearance?

My g35 has a stillen supercharger on it and I bought it that way. If it were up to me i would have went with vortech or pro charger but in any event, I hate this damn hood.

I have done alot of research and I cant find anything in reference to what other hoods I could run to clear the S/C....does anyone know of any?

Sorry, but any hoods that will fit the Stillen SC are ugly IMO. I believe there's 1 other hood available that will work, there's pictures on here somewhere.
Edit: This would probably fit but its certainly not an improvement...

Can you post a picture of your car so we can see what kind of hood you're dealing with?

I left my camera at work, I can post pictures tomorrow, for now this is some google images.





It might look better once I get the eyelids, a nice drop and my new front bumper.

That does look a little ridiculous, at least when paired with an otherwise stock front end. It doesn't look as bad in the second picture though.

Do you think that'd work? Best looking one that I've found, in my opinion. Not sure on clearance, but if you think it'd work, should contact Strafe. AMS hood, I think.



VIS GTC, I think it's listed with that name.

Or check out this guy's hood. He failed to list the brand of hood, but you can ask him if you think that'd work. I believe it's the Invader 3 from VIS.

Thanks man ill get in touch with them to check the specs of the hood, I also still have to call stillen to get the exact measurements of their hood as well.
