Quick question on CF hoods - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Nolmack · 11-06-2007, 09:37 PM

I did quite a bit of research, and even looked at some pictures, but i just can't tell whether or not carbon fiber hoods have those windshield spray nozzles for the windshield.

Can anyone justify this. Thanks!

2ilvia · 11-06-2007, 10:09 PM

if they dont just drill your own holes and make sure to get aftermarket pink colored led sprayers

nwmrkt · 11-06-2007, 10:09 PM

most likely dont from what iv seen from cf hoods. Just drill em.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-06-2007, 10:26 PM

Some do and some dont. I think seibon has nozzle holes.

SW20Racer · 11-06-2007, 10:33 PM

ExtreeeeemeDimensionz has em too but fitment is hit or miss ive figured out how to make my own fiberglass hoods in like 2 maybe 3 days for waayy less and its just as good (unless youre going for that bling factor) but i say meh to that

!Zar! · 11-06-2007, 10:34 PM

Some do some don't.

buy a 4 dollar hand drill from the salvation army and screw your old ones in. problem solved.

B Love · 11-07-2007, 12:05 AM

Yup just drill a hole and throw in the stock ones although some companies already have the holes in

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-07-2007, 05:06 AM

I never like the look of those things on the hood so do what i did. Home depot, go to the irigation area and look for these small pointy nozzles. Cut 2 small slots on the plastic tray under the hood and voila. You wont eve know theyre there.

Wow i never thought of that!!! i always hated those nozzels on the hood also and the CF hood i got had the nozzle holes already so i just had my dad fill it with epoxy rezin.

IIIXziuR · 11-07-2007, 06:10 AM

most that I have seen come with the holes already there.
It looks cooler w/o them, especially if you aren't running a spray resovoir.

Im using my reservoir now as a fmic/radiator water mister...now if I can only figure out how to disable the wipers from going off too.

Thanks man, i think i may just do this.. i can't beelive i neever thought of this lol.

jackjack · 11-07-2007, 11:59 AM

some do, some dont as mentioned above already. my hood has holes, but the stock nozzles are too small. i'll get around to it when i get the chance.

GabeS14 · 11-07-2007, 11:56 PM

Got mine from Extreme dimensions(VIS) had holes in it!

MrChow · 11-08-2007, 01:25 AM

^^
I have a VIS and it has it. But I don't have a window washer. The tank broke and I lost my lil things...

GabeS14 · 11-09-2007, 02:03 AM

Question since i am looking for a new hood also!
does anyone know where i can get the (Drift)hood in socal?
its the one with 3 vents smaller in front largest in rear.

???

B Love · 11-09-2007, 11:48 AM

What brand is that actual hood? Try Ebay. Or be a baller and get BN

GabeS14 · 11-09-2007, 03:31 PM

Its GTP, Drift hood!
chaser aero(aerokits.net) sells it for 350
but they are in MD

I like that one too

Cataphract · 11-09-2007, 05:46 PM

I have a Seibon for a S14 and it comes with the holes already made.
