Hey guys,

I decided to produce a new hood for my xB and i wanted to see what everyone suggestions would be. Im thinking about producing something in the line like this hood, 350z lift hood in carbon fiber. I like the subtleness of OEM but with a lifted center. Maybe a little higher. Im open to new ideas. Post pictures of the hood that you think would look nice on your xB. Who knows, it might be your design that i choose to produce. I have a manufacture oversea that man produce anything for me. There are no nice hood in the market at this moment that i think is nice for the xB.

I (really!) like the rear vented hood. I have been looking at rear vented on an ebay.
How about a 3 part vent? One long in the center and to small vents near the side. The hard part is keeping with the "Chunky" style of the xB with out going over the edge.

Got any pics?

Frosty355

Can do!


I would like to see it blend more in to the front of the hood so it's not just a bump at the back.

hmm...not really liking that hood.

But it's something to work off of. I'm not real keen on the ridge just before the vent. Maybe don't recess it in to the hood but raise it up and smooth it in to the top.
Just make it better! Then send me one!



Your Anime dude is freaking me out.

That rear vented hood looks awesome on the xB. I've been eyeballing it since it first came out a few months ago...

Frosty355

Do you have any pic's of it on a xB? Without any logos all over it so we could see it?

im would like to see a hood that had a subtle subaru style scoop on it. somthin that didint take away form the lines of the car.

45 seconds of photoshop later... kind like the audioformz hood but less square n akward

i personally think the car is too square to have some random lift in the hood. If you want the hood to be different paint or airbrush is the way to go IMO

dmpsk8

heres a kinda rounded hood. sorry for the photoshopping quality, tryin get it done quick.

I Think were on to something with that last one! I was thinking something like that but a bit longer and lower.
Not real big on the subie style one.

Hmm Celica GT Style, Lancer Evo Vented. Those I'd like to see.

dmpsk8

Make a one piece hood and grille. Example the 350 x hood w/ the little scoop in the bumper. Put the little scoop in the grill area so you can reach the hood latch. Id buy one if you did...

350 x I meant z oops!

Here's an old-fashioned type drawing of what I think you are describing.



You make it sound like a cowl induction hood. If you make the bulge low and wide, you can line it up with the lines of the grill -- I think that makes it look like it was supposed to be there.
