Talking Should i buy this???

Some guy is selling this Carbon FIber hood for a 01-03 civic.
He is asking 100 bucks, here is a pic of it, does it look good?
Would it fit on a 4dr. And would it look good on my ride. Input would be great.

Hey that exact hood was auctioned on ebay. THere's another thread on here about it. I lost the bid on that thing too. I guess there must have been something wrong with it if the winning bidder is already wanting to sell it.

What brand is it? With the potential danger of an aftermarket hood (seperating and flying up...) I'd only go with a quality company.

This one though would be perfect if you wanted to throw it on for shows.

Pins, It wont bolt into Oem brackets?. WHy the pins. Also how hard is it is to install.

One more thing, it would fit on my car right?? Also is there anything wrong with the paint, or is the white spot because of the flash.

That's the thing... this hood isn't from a very reputable company. Because of that, it'd be more than advisable to use hood pins to secure the hood. There have been instances in the past where members have had hoods seperate (the top from the skeleton) and fly away while on the highway. I sure wouldn't want that while driving, so I'd definately get hood pins regardless of brand.

Fitment... questionable. It's at least the right shape. Past that, don't know.

The white spot is because of the flash.

looks like a nice hood, NOTE that there isnt that stupid little molding peice on it like the oem style. I got my oem one for 50 bucks, it was oxidized and faded BUT wet sand 1500 grit+rubbing compound+wax+elbow grease= 1 damn fine looking hood
GO FOR IT MAN, ask for a pic of the underside to see the underbracing on it. once i got my hood cleaned up i reinforced the bracing with epoxy just to be EXTRA SURE it fits ok and dosent move much in the wind like some others do.
