skinnyz Posted April 25, 2006 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2006 I called my local Nissan dealer, and they priced me a hood for $298. Seemed like a good price (anybody disagree?) They asked the production date, whether it was b4 or after Aug. 73. Mine is May of 73. They said that one was no longer available. What, if any, is the difference in the two hoods? Thanks in advance.

naviathan Posted April 25, 2006 Share #2 Posted April 25, 2006 According to the black dragon auto catalog, there isn't a difference. The Nissan price was better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted April 25, 2006 Share #3 Posted April 25, 2006 Black Dragon sells repro body parts. So for their repro hood, there probably is no difference. But if the dealer says there was a difference in the factory parts, I'm sure that there was. I'd bet it isn't major, though. Probably something like how the support rod works, or something like that.

Red-Eye Posted April 25, 2006 Share #4 Posted April 25, 2006 When did the hood get vents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmark Posted April 25, 2006 Share #5 Posted April 25, 2006 77-78 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnyz Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted April 25, 2006 I Am Hoping The Difference Isnt Major, I Am Thinking I May Take The Chance. Oem For Less Than 300 Bucks Seems Too Good To Be True Though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted April 25, 2006 Share #7 Posted April 25, 2006 I say go for it. The difference is most likely cosmetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceM Posted April 25, 2006 Share #8 Posted April 25, 2006 Since a 280 hood swap to a 240 is common I don't see that there would be a mounting issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
