You mean this hood? I had 3 issues with it. The washer nozzles and gasket did not fit on the new hood. I used a black silicone adhesive to put them on and they have been fine so far.The second issue was that the black plastic pieces that keep our hood latches from twisting, the push pins broke when trying to use them in the new hole. I am guessing I need a longer shank pin or the hole is the wrong size. the third. is the Bump stops did not fit. I am not sure if a g37 bump stop would fit since the hood is made for g37's. I still have to figure that one out. No real issue with not having them. Oh and the hood vibrates a little at certain speed because it is more flexible than stock. Not an issue though.

No I have not had issues. There is a underlayer that has offset holes so from the sky you cannot see the engine. If rain falls it will hit the under layer and will be routed to the front of the hood over the radiator. I only had it for a couple weeks in the winter with light snowfall but there were no issues. I worried when I first got it too but not anymore.

Really not digging that hood.

Looks like it belongs on a rally car. Not an Infiniti.

If your car already had the look for it then maybe. But not just standalone.

Imo Wald is a little too much for our cars. Maybe on a 350z or a 370z it would look more in place. The front and rear bumpers are waaay out there and look kinda ricer.

It would definitely be unique. I just think subtler mods flow a lot better on the V36

Tbh, I wanted to do it on a red v36 add a oem cf hood, add cf fenders (the ones like the 09 fx35, I believe) and the wald body kit... And black vinyl the roof , but it's a lot of rice I guess! Then I would have to do something around the grill because it would look very off the carbon fiber fender. I don't know if this makes sense...
