none..they all look weird IMO..I just like my OEM cf hood..they already do make an evo style hood

thats what im asking what would you like to see offered
i have the capabilities of getting anything made through a fiberglass company

the company has already made some maxima kits for the 89-94 maxima they look awesome and the fit was great

how about a hood with a NACA scoop built in above the air filter?
nice and simple.

As far as air dams....

Maybe a modification of this?

Or howabout just a better looking rear and skirts for the AAS kit?

I found this ride on cardomain, thought the hood scoop looked kinda good:

that paint scheme sucks.

ya but we're talking about the hood scoop, not the "creative" paint job

the hood scoop is decent, very subtle.

You should tell them to make the Saleen Contour kit!

X100, i dont think people realize that when it comes to contours (see touring wing)

The invisible kind

some body needs to get a group buy going for the saleen kit for the tours.

Never have and never will like it. Absolutely putrid IMO.

Many, many other Contours that are way better looking - Kingpin, Y2K, Jim, etc. etc. etc. etc.

I don't agree with you. That body kit looks beautiful. But then all my friends tell me I belong in the eighties...

My favorite car should explain everything...

see i really like that front bumper and the side skirts are nice HOWEVER i don't like the rear.. i think it kinda looks like the andysautosport rear bumper. not a copy just real close. i like the rear of the svt way better. and of ouse get rid of that stupid cell phone antenna on the trunk!!!!!!

So you prefer bumpers that have gills and sharp edges that dont line up or flow with the shape of the contour?.....

Whoops! I think he and I both misread your post!

For what it's worth, I had to re-read it too. Must be a visual or spacing thing.

I think you guys just read the post to fast.

I thought you said WITH as well.... Wierd.

One like this would be all manner of hottness:

ARP style splitter with support rods hands down...preferrably carbon fiber (obviously shaped for the SVT front bumper, or it may work nicely w/ the non-svt also):

nice, minus the horrible looking support rods...

The SVT bumper is lower on the sides than in the center... a splitter like that wouldn't work. You'd need to add a Mirko... at which point the splitter becomes redundant.

The M3 combination is a great photoshop concept and the BTCC mondeos weren't bad either. Whatever get's designed, incorporate the whole bumper so that everything flows please.

Something like this...

It would work...it doesn't mount flush to begin w/. The support rods are necessary. As I mentioned, it would have to be made in proportion to the SVT bumper (including the provisions for the bottom contour of the bumper cover)...I'm not saying hack the one for the EVO & make it work in the way the only aftermarket "kits" available for this car were made.

Eh...whatever, I don't have one anymore anywho.
