On 92 240sx with silvia convers i need a new hood, Im not two pickey on what one i get but it needs to look good and worth the money. I called VIS and they say they only have OEM style CF hoods and there grade B and $575 shipped. I got my grade A hood for my civic for $400 shipped. Yeah i know nissan stuff is harder to get but damn, They also told me that they dont make a grade A for the silvia. Im up for anything guys, my car gets painted this weekend so even a fiberglass one will work, any ideas?

I looked far and wide.

http://www.oetuning.com/

That place offers them...but they are quite pricey. I won't comment on where I bought mine from. It was probably the worst nightmare ever.

someone posted on the forum over here or at freshalloy a while ago saying they picked up an oetuning hood on an ebay auction hosted by oetuning themselves.. well.. when he recieved the hood, he said something like it was good for a while but it started to crack or the quality was poor and oetuning did nothing to help him out. i dont really recall what the problems was but from that post because it was a while ago. i just would stay away from them. go with sunnystyling cf hoods.. meotwth has one and i dont hear any complaints from him.. otherwise, you can always get a high quality one from japan for about 1G.

This has been discussed numerous times.

O.E. Tuning and Sunny Stylings sell/produce CF hoods for S13 Silvia.

Danio had a bad experience with O.E. so I recommend you stay away. I've heard good things about Sunny's hoods.

Neishlin sells Sunny Stylings hoods and I believe they will ship, but its expensive.

Use the search next time dude, you're just lucky I bothered to read this thread again :)

Good luck
