That is an abomination to all things that I stand for. I hope that's not your wing voodoo

BTW, that tape isn't holing the air fliter up, it's holding the front bumper on. Get it straight

A gun rack? A gun rack. I don't even own A gun, let alone many guns which would necessitate an entire rack. What am I going to do, with a gun rack.

is the aluminum a joke, or does somebody actually make an aluminum hood for civics, bmw and audi have been using aluminum hoods for awhile, it makes sense since it saves weight and you do not have to worry about the hood blowing off at autobahn speeds.

i put that on there as like the stock hood with mods done to it such as molded in scoop, vents, or even the plexi like some ae doing with fiberglass. My dad insists that the stock one is the best so im getting opinions of people who know hondas better than me and him

well, he is right, in terms of fitment.

but a c/f hood will save you like 30-40 pounds, so a few gaps here and there is worth it.

on a 92-95 a 10lb cf hood will only save 20lbs, and 10lbs is a light hood too(fiber images)

I have a brand new never unwrapped VIS carbon fiber hood for a 92-95 civic. I know it fits coupes and hatches (i have a hatch), I don't know if 4 door is the same, but I'd imagine so.

you can have it for 410 + shipping, but I get the hookup on shipping cause a friend of mine works for Post Office Plus, so I can hook up shipping. IM me if interested

go to a honda yard and see if they have one in relatively good condition. if there is no honda yard, try to find a car junk yard of some sort.

indeed, and here is my take on carbon fiber hoods. while indeed i do like the two tone looks on imports, the whole carbon fiber thing has gone way out of control. I have seen so many riced out pieces of **** around DC that have a carbon fiber hood, and all of a sudden, the owners think it is fast. I admire people that buy carbon fiber hoods, then paint them, instead of giving off a "OH LOOK, I'M CARBON FIBER" appeal. Carbon fiber has gone way out of control, and half the products that companies say are carbon fiber, are "carbon fiber look alikes"....GAY...GAY GAY GAY GAY
