The grille and headlights are different.

If I remember correctly, there is a company in Japan that makes carbon fiber hood for 05+ sedans... don't remember who though, just remember seeing it.

 

And fenders, and front end.

 

Thanks for your input guys, but yeah the 03-04/05-06 sedans are similar but changed in several different ways. I'm guessing company's stopped making CF hoods for sedans in 05-06 because there wasn't much demand for the 03-04 CF hoods....

 

Who makes a cf hood for 03-04 sedans? I see a few here and there, but they're all no-name companies and the hoods have no reviews or pictures at that. I don't think people are willing to spend almost $500 to see if one of these fit good or not.

 

If you want something bad enough, you'll buy it regardless of the fitment. Take it to a professional and loyal shop, leave with confidence that when you come back you'r car is done properly. Fitment can always be adjusted, but I understand it can be a hassle...I've never seen reviews either...

 

No. Fitment of fiberglass and other painted parts can always be fixed. Carbon fiber can only be refinished. If the product fits like sh*t, then it'll always fit like sh*t unless you want to paint it after you fix it, in which case makes it pointless to spend that money on a cf part in the first place.

 

Nooooooooo, you commented on the fitment, if it looks like ****, what am I gonna argue with you about? If it fits like ****, why can't a professional shop adjust it? I see you don't have much experience with a good shop, gotta have faith. Obviously if it looks like crap it defeats the purpose of spending money on that specific cf part, it's called a refund...

 

Here's a pic of one I found from the splash screen of G35Driver (where random images of G35's are displayed). I believe this is a 03-04 sedan since the front edge of the hood is a straight line like all other OEM hoods on the 03-04's.

 

I see you haven't done much body work before... The only adjustment you can make on cf hoods is the hinges. Carbon fiber is not flexible, so you can't just pull it to fit... You can't really repair it. The most you can do is refinish it. If the product hangs a bit over, you can trim, but that's about it. And since cf is a weave, good luck on making that look good with the bondo, fiberglass or urethane you're about to add... The only solution I see here is to paint at least parts of it.

 

Stillen makes a hood for the 03-04
