hmm...why not just a carbon fiber hood? thats what everyone will tell ya to get anyway...
on the topic of hoods, does anyone have a blue CF hood on their civic, and possibly a pic?
thanks

by the way...he hit your car with a volleyball so you hit him and did MORE damage to your car...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Well, depending on your economic condition, the kaminari hood wwith the scoop is nice, but otherwise any cf hood is badazz.

i like the intruder-style vented hood (single vent), it is aggressive but not overly so.

The Fiber Images Monster Carbon Fiber hood is sweet.... look on ebay they have them for like $400 instead of $650 on their site.... but that kaminari with that tear drop scoop is bad *** too though

<< don't you know cars are a weapon? >>



they are? I always thought of them of transportation devices. Yes, you can kill someone with cars, but that doesnt not make them weapons. I mean, i can kill someone with my guitar, but it doesnt make that a weapon

haha, sorry dude, i'm just playin'. I'm really boared cause i've got wayyyy to much time on my hands

Ive been watching this forum a bit, had no intention of signing up, but I couldnt resist. Where are you located? I have a project in the works right now, making my own carbon fiber hood. I can make them in all styles, maybe even different colors. I am toying with a ram air intake design, which is why I am doing this, but I should be able to make an OEM hood pretty easily. again, I am mid-project, I wanted to hold off on mentioning this, but here, i got the mold all finished. (its messy for a reason [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]) theoretically, I can make a hood for less than online prices, But I am not sure what the total cost will be, as carbon fiber will cost approximately $70-100 alone, and it drinks resin, too.

But I will be sure to tell everyone the outcome of the project, whenever I complete it.

Is that your NBP civic? Describe those pictures... The titles of the pictures kinda give it away, but I want to know what is involved.

you know, i typed out teh entire process. from start to finish. but i then realized that this is a pretty simple project, i dont want you all macking on my idea before i finish my project [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

besides,once you got a mold, you can make multiple hoods. once i finish mine, i can crank out more to make a profit off my investment, or even sell it to make some of my money back [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

dont worry, i saved the process in another file, stay tuned [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] tho

with luck, ill have the first few bits done during spring break [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
