Re: i have a question about cf hoods (HATCHingMN)
prob wont fit since the hood is as wide as the car..
might want to try and strap it on top if its the only way you can get it...dangerous..but prob doable if its a short distance...
is that where the money's going from the seat..haha

Its something called put it in at a angle.
If you are scared that it will break put something under the highest point to raise it abit and surport it from hitting the roof/window.

If it is hatchback then it Will definitely fit. I have done it many times. You must have the hood sideways, front to one side and back to the other instead of lengthwise as it would be facing when installed.
EDIT. Just for info sake I had a 98 EK hood, a 96 GSR hood, and a 97 Prelude hood in the back of a 97 CRV. The Prelude hood only fit with the side panels off and the corner sticking out one window. lol

I did it before...... before you put the hood in you have to take the ebrake cover off, then lay both your seats all the way back, you and a freind put the hood in, then lift up on it, and slide and raise both the seats up, then lay the hood down , then put the seats as there were , I did this twice

The two CF hoods I have had both used SAE bolts instead of the factory metric ones. I wish my Fiber Images hood used the stock ones, damn Americans. lol

Re: i have a question about cf hoods (jes c)
yea it should fit. you dont have to take out the panels or the seats. just fold it down and stick the hood in sideways. thtas what i did in my eg. i put a jdm itr hood in there like that. move the driver and passenger seat up and it could be done.

you do know that there is packaging around it so it doesnt get damaged, therefore it will not scratch anything right?

Re: i have a question about cf hoods (Ignitecivic)
Use the pythagorean theorum...
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
if the width of the area squared plus the height of the area squared is less than the width of the hood squared then you're good to go.
