ModeloDrive Carbon Fiber OER HR Hood (Z33) for 350Z Nissan 07-08 modelodrive_119075
Description :
This is a OER HR Hood manufactured or distributed by ModeloDrive with Carbon Fiber being the primary exterior surface material. Most carbon fiber parts we sell are \"wet\" carbon fiber, this means they have that \"wet\" glossy look, the only exception to this is then the product specifically states \"dry\". Dry carbon is usually lighter than wet carbon but has a dull flat finish. When installing ModeloDrive Carbon Fiber parts make sure you are using hood pins on hoods and do not use hydraulic arms to prop open hoods and trunks as they can warp the light weight components over time. ModeloDrive Carbon fiber parts may require modifications such as: Drilling of holes / cutting / sanding / fixing cracks / buffing to eliminate scratches, etc. Ships direct from the manufacturer or a distributor. Manufactured with a marine gelcoat variant to help prolong the life against UV aging effects. Our Carbon Fiber parts are made with handlaid wetcarbon with plastic resin. Genuine show quality carbon reinforced with FRP fiberglass backing. Aeroparts are to be installed by a professional body shop. Bolts, screws, and double sided tape is not included. Carbon Fiber parts often have a fiberglass underside which may require modification, shaving, sanding, drilling, filling in order to ensure proper fitment.
New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in our retail store. To be installed professionally by a bodyshop with a valid automotive repair business license. Carbon fiber parts are reinforced with a fiberglass backing for added strength. Carbon fiber parts still require prep work. You will need to preform taks such as: buffing, drilling holes (for winshield windshield water nozzles, etc), adding or removing fiberglass (mounting tabs, etc). Ships direct from the manufacturer or a distributor. Manufactured with a marine gelcoat variant to help prolong the life against UV aging effects. Carbon is a composite material and may exhibit more gap than OEM materials. Hoods require hood pins. We do not offer any guarantee of fitment on vehicles that have been in involved in accidents and/or have body damage or customization. Disclaimer
All hoods and hood accessories offered by ModeloDrive are designed as aftermarket accessories intended exclusively for off-road and show use. ModeloDrive assumes no responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from the use of these products. ModeloDrive hoods are often lighter than stock hoods and may feature vented designs, which can cause additional aerodynamic lift at high speeds. As a result, hood pins or AeroCatch latches are mandatory to ensure safety, as standard hood latches may not provide sufficient security.
Due to the nature of fiberglass and the manufacturing processes involved, ModeloDrive hoods are not \'direct bolt-on\' parts and often require significant preparation, such as sanding, cutting, shaving, and filling gaps. Additional fiberglass reinforcement may be necessary in some areas. Drilling holes for mounting, custom fitting adjustments, and modifications like drilling holes for windshield washer nozzles and tubing using a rotary tool may be required. It\'s important to note that not all original components, such as washer nozzles and tubing, may be transferable to the ModeloDrive hood depending on its design, so modifications or replacements may be needed.
Hood Latch Adjustments
ModeloDrive hoods typically require repositioning the hood latch to ensure proper alignment and closure. This involves carefully adjusting the latch, making small tweaks to move it up/down or forward/back until the striker catches securely. Given that fiberglass hoods may have slight variations or warping, additional fitting, such as enlarging mounting holes or using shims, is often required for proper alignment. Adjustments to or removal of hood bump stops may also be necessary for proper fitment.
Hood Accessories: Scoops and Other Modifications
ModeloDrive also offers various hood accessories, including scoops, which can enhance the performance and appearance of your vehicle. Attaching a hood scoop typically requires drilling holes in the hood for mounting, as well as using bolts or adhesive, depending on the style of the scoop. When installing hood scoops on fiberglass hoods, it may be necessary to add fiberglass reinforcement around the mounting area to ensure the scoop is securely fastened and properly aligned. Careful measurement and fitting are essential to prevent leaks and to maintain the structural integrity of the hood.
For optimal results, ModeloDrive strongly recommends professional installation by a custom shop experienced in handling fiberglass components and hood accessories, as traditional auto repair shops may lack the necessary expertise for these modifications.
Safety and Legal Use
ModeloDrive hoods, hood accessories, and other products are strictly designed for off-road and show use. Due to stringent Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, many of these products, including hoods and hood scoops, are not street legal. ModeloDrive does not endorse or recommend using these products on public roads or highways.
Vehicles depicted are highly modified for show which may include molding or adding to the original piece.
