Nissan Hoods
The Nissan Maxima Hood has Zone Body construction that incorporates a high-intensity
cabin structure with cross-members and reinforcements. Front and rear crumple
zones help absorb impact energy before it reaches the passenger compartment. Hood
buckling creases allow the hood to buckle at predetermined points, helping prevent
it from intruding into the passenger compartment in certain frontal impacts. On
the outside, the new Nissan Maxima is dressed for attention. Styling cues from
the new Z include a sculpted hood and a nose that dips low toward the road. Some
hoods for your Nissan Altima are made of carbon fiber with UV protected gel coat
that won't fade.

Steel reinforcement beam and proven to be more durable than all others A wrap-around
design available at car parts online store gives your Nissan Altima hood a sleek
aerodynamic appearance. Allows for easy hood cleaning and waxing. It is made of
rugged impact-modified acrylic; the design helps protect your hood from damage
by rocks and bugs. A raised area on a hood with a front- or rear-facing opening
is called hood scoop. Many hoods are manufactured with a built-in scoop, but a
scoop also can be added to a smooth hood. Scoops often are made from steel fiberglass
or carbon fiber.
Some hood scoops are purely for show and only look like they have an opening.
Others have a front-facing opening to feed the motor cooler air from outside the
engine compartment, which improves performance because cool air is denser than
warm air. Still other scoops feature a rear-facing opening to vent hot under hood
air; this style often is referred to as a cowl induction hood. |
