So I have been looking at carbon hoods for my car. It has an SR20 in it and a silvia front. A guy I know bought a from Chaser and the valve cover hit so he notched it for clearance.

B-Road Flared Hood

I want one that does not need to be clearanced. However, I dont want a plain stock style hood either. Is there any company that makes a similar hood that clears without modification?

Cut your stock hoot and attach a vent like this.

You really don't need a carbon hood. if you were concerned about weight Just hit the gym.

Funny you mentioned that. I did lose weight. About 50lbs. But that's not why I want a carbon hood.
