Great man, I’m glad you love the car. I loved it too. It was a blast to drive compared to any other cars I’ve owned in the past. Take care of it. :drinkers:
Bad news!
We were driving at about 1030 tonight on our way out of the park for a little cruise, anyways were driving down Sherwood Park freeway at about 100km/h and in a split second the hood smashed up against the windsheild. We pulled over to find out that the carbon fiber hood is mashed beyond being 100 percent repaired but the windsheild and paint appear to be ok. There is no cracks in the windsheild which is I guess one good thing that came out of it.
For the first day having the car out I feel pretty bad for the guy! if anyone has a white silvia hood for the guy let me know.
Thanks alot
Dan
Sad to say this did happen :sad
What a depressing end to an amazing day with this car.
If anyone has a carbon fiber hood for this car please let me know i would love one asap.
I really do not want to wait around for one to be shipped so hopefully someone here has one.
And hood pins would be great too!!!
Thanks,
Brandon
ouch! sorry to hear this dude is there any way u can make ur CF hood work or is it to demaged?
Oh sh**. Sorry to hear that man, I hope you find another hood. If I see one for sale somewhere I will let you know.
How bad is this one damaged?
I saw the car driving on river valley road and then up 116st at about 8:45 last night when I was on Victoria Gold Course.
It is sad to hear about this as you always have to make sure your hood it latched and locked especially with aftermarket hoods as they can never fit as nice as OEM.
Too bad that hood is busted as it was a DMAX CF hood worth about $1000 or more

brandon bought a sivlia?
holy fuck, off the road i go! :E
Yea it is terrible that i already need a new hood.
For the next one i am going to always double check it is fully latched and get hood pins.
It was worth that much? :sad
But yes i do believe it is too damaged to fix. Parts of it at least.
Fuckin shitty. Ive heard of this happening to CF hoods with no pins b4. Spend a little $$ and get the pins!!! I guess you dont really need to hear that now.
Shiety deal.
happended to me 3 years ago with oem hood, thanks to a someone not closing the latch fully… I endded up having to get a new hood and a new windshield as well as repaint the roof.
That was freaken scarry.
The hood is going for 73,290 Yen, Isn’t that 700 and some odd dollars not $1000 or more?
Just thought i would take some pictures of the hood.
I am not too talented with a camera but here…
Damage across the middle:
And then one of the car without the hood:
you forgot to add shipping charges so in the end prob 1000 or more
