Stillen is not working on 05/06 hood, as least they told me "no plan" last time I called, ~2 month ago. I am guessing whoever made Hood for 03 Sedan, under the hype that 03 G35 won the Motor Trend Car of the Year, did not get as many sales as planned. The car sales on 05 is much less than 03, so that the CF hood makers moved on to the "next big thing".

I agree it sucks that there are not hood options for our cars. A Seibon VS would be awesome and might even put me over the edge for a TT kit since it would offer the additional cooling here in the summer.

If Seibon would just step up and offer one, they might get a shock when a bunch of people order.

Stillen is working on the their supercharger for the 05-06. I spoke to the guy on the phone and he said that they were almost complete. So I assumed that they would have to make a hood for the 05-06 as well. How would their supercharger fit without a new hood?

The 05-06 Stage 3 is still on their site and I was able to add it to my cart, so it looks like they still sell it.

Never assume anything. They had the 05 S/C released at the begining of 05,
why? Because nothing really need to be changed from 04 S/C.

They have installed one or two 05 S/C already on sedan, where the buyer install the hump after cutting a hole into the hood. That is the only option.
