i visited benen a long time ago and the quality is the best i have ever seen not including real racing like F1, Nascar and stuff like that. the way they tested out their lip was amazing just drop the car and see how many driveways can you scrape on they did it to the spoon one and it cracked theirs never did and if you tap on it it sounds solid not like other carbon fibre hoods which sound hollow

i'm not a salesman but just trying to tell everybody what i experienced

yes...the quality is awesome...
they take the basic spoon design and improve on it (if thats possible)
add lots of reinforcements, they are almost indestructable...

Does Benen make any CF hoods for the Integra? Looks like they only have EG parts.

BENEN makes excellent products. In my opinion, they are one of the most underrated companies out there. One look at their stuff and you'll know how good the quality is.
