Drop serious weight off the nose of your Z and feed your engine the cold air it needs with the AMS Carbon Fiber Hood made specifically for the 2009-2020 Nissan 370Z, because the factory aluminum hood is already light but still heavy compared to a proper dry carbon race hood, and this is engineered for performance first with looks that kill second, and it’s hand-laid from real 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber vacuum-infused over a high-temp resin core so you get maximum strength with minimum weight, shaving 12-16 lbs off the front end depending on finish to improve turn-in, braking, and front-rear balance without hurting daily drivability, and the AMS design adds functional aero vents that are ducted to evacuate hot air from the radiator and engine bay at speed which drops under-hood temps, reduces heat soak, and helps your VQ37VHR make consistent power lap after lap instead of pulling timing on hot days, and the vent placement is CFD-optimized to create low-pressure zones that actually pull air out instead of just looking aggressive, and the underside is fully skeletonized with reinforced mounting points at the hinges, latch, and struts so you keep full OEM function including safety latch, prop rod, and optional hood dampers with zero flex or flutter at 100+ mph, and it’s sealed under 4+ coats of UV-stable automotive clear that’s wet-sanded and machine polished to a show-quality wet gloss that won’t yellow, haze, or spider crack from sun exposure or engine heat, and the weave is panel-matched across the entire hood so it looks symmetrical from every angle and matches other carbon parts like fenders, spoilers, and mirrors, and fitment is dialed because it’s molded from a 3D scan of the OEM 370Z hood so the body lines, headlight gaps, and fender margins are factory tight with no trimming, sanding, or forcing, and it bolts directly to OEM hinges and latch using factory hardware so install is straightforward for any shop or experienced DIYer, and it clears all intake setups including OEM, Stillen Gen 3, Z1, AdminTuning, and most turbo kits without modification, and the hood is designed to work with or without hood pins but we recommend pins for track use or if you delete the latch for weight, and it’s compatible with all 2009-2020 370Z trims including Base, Sport, Touring, Nismo, and 50th Anniversary, and the carbon construction won’t dent like aluminum or rust like steel so it stays perfect even after years of track days and weather, and the vent design helps reduce front-end lift at speed for more stability, and you can run it in exposed carbon for full race look or paint-match the outer skin while leaving vents exposed for a subtle OEM+ style, so whether you’re chasing lap times, building a show Z, or just want the exotic carbon look with real performance gains, the AMS Carbon Fiber Hood delivers lightweight strength, functional aero, and perfect fitment in a true bolt-on package, and every hood is QC checked for weave alignment, clear coat depth, body line accuracy, and latch/hinge reinforcement before shipping so it drops on clean the first time.
