i was told the same thing. i believe it, Dmax has more to gain selling the mold for a hood people are going to knock off anyway than not, at least get some $ back. also they are way overdue for new tooling, their molds were tired so maybe they sold them to fund that. once a part is being knocked off the value plummets, might as well sell your design overseas while it still has value and start the next generation of product.

IIRC, Jordan Innovations had two CF d-max hoods a few months ago for $650. I was thinking about picking it up since I need a hood. However, I am handling other important things, this cycle is endless...

Dominic, Maaco has their paint sale for $300 from October to January if you want something real simple. You may want to call them so you know which package it is (Ambassador "w/o Clear" or Presidential "w/ Clear"). As for color, choose one that you think is nice and differ from other owners.

i remember jordan innovations selling those cf dmax hoods... still kick my ass till this day for not picking one up

I was thinking about getting it done by Jaime's cousin, however the price he's asking is high up there. BUT his work does seem to reflect what he's asking for. What option did you get Lowney?

Breitling · 11-10-2012, 05:26 PM

Lowered the rear.

His cousin's work is legit and I would get it but I know, I will be blowing aero left and right so it's not an option in mind to do it.

I got the ambassador one but plan on getting resprayed next month, hopefully, when I collect more stuff.

thanks Man, Yeah, the front needs help. I narrowed the front wheels (new inner barrels to allow coilover clearance) and it "unstretched" the tires. Looks too thick up front, i will probably take it down another inch too... BUT, that will ruin the flatness of the stance and cause a forward rake....

Breitling · 11-10-2012, 08:25 PM

^^^ Stout. I am not a fan of the wheels (but everyone else on zilvia is). Well done sir!

pincheturbo · 11-10-2012, 08:50 PM

illvialuver · 11-10-2012, 09:47 PM

illvialuver · 11-10-2012, 10:09 PM

Washington is great. Nice road conditions, everything is green.
If you are ever in Seatle look up Mike's Chilli Parlor, I think you will like it.
Best of luck to ya.

yooshi · 11-10-2012, 11:23 PM

Dmax hood fitment is horrible, every one I've seen fit like crap. BN fits amazing, but so expensive

Not from what I have seen for the most part, but there's always going to be some bad roads regardless of where you are. Otherwise I think you're pretty spot-on!

Haha Washington is cool! But the street conditions are far from great, especially in the Seattle area. But he's army so he's going to be either up north or down south in Tacoma and either areas aren't too bad for cars I suppose
