New Civic, CF hood or not?
I have owned 5 civics in my life, actually just drove 3 hours to pick my latest one up. It unfortunately has a decent sized dent close to the middle of the hood, already tried a simple dent puller, but it just pops right back in. My question is, I am going to replace the hood, but I am at a 50/50 to either keep stock silver color or go CF. Any thoughts?
Also if some users do think I should go CF, then what brand/website do you recommend for one that ACTUALLY fits?

There are other things that could be done first before you get a cf hood. New Lip, better wheels, suspension, etc...
Also, assuming you don't have a motor swap or race, the cf hood is really just for unnecessary aesthetics and useless weight reduction.

If you like the cf look go with cf, if you like a cleaner not import tuner look go with the stock one. Do what you want and not what people hundreds of miles away from you want, they aren't going to be looking at the car every day and driving it, you are. As far as fitment I would go with VIS.
Here's a pic of a silver one like yours with the cf hood, doesn't look bad at all. But as someone else said and i'm sure you have plans for this a drop would definitely help the looks out.

I don't mind either hood to be honest, but fitment is key, I don't want an EBay hood that doesn't fit right, I will take it to a local body shop to get a quote, if not I will just order a primed one from the net and paint it myself.
Thanks again all.
(Now to just find a decent pair of seats that don't cost an arm and a leg so I can pay for the hood!)

Again, I still wouldn't recommend getting a cf hood based on the fact that you can still get more practical stuff for cheaper/same price. Front/rear strut bar, sway bar, short shifter, etc...
Cf hoods scream for attention. It would be better if you invested in a few other items first that are more subtle so that your **** doesn't get stolen too.

If you go on eBay, Craig'sList, the Classified section of HT, etc... There are tons of OEM hoods that people are selling. The fitment is going to be perfect and it certainly won't cost as much as a good cf hood.
