Just stay away from generic brand hoods, especially the ones on EBAY. I agree with fiber images or VIS being the brands to get...Oh also stay away with the ones that APC sells.

I dont think i would but anything that apc makes, they sicken me everytime i see a car with thos stickers on it. It seems FI is the best and not to expensive at $600.

I was looking around for forums and buyer feedbacks when i happened upon this forum:

http://forums.clubsi.com/showflat.ph...rue#Post307645

for Civic SI owners. While searching for reputation on a different company i happened on this topic on Fiber Images and how their customer service and quality of hoods are horrible. I would consider the VIS instead.
