OT: People are really non-observant on the roads
Well, i sold my CF hood today, and before I put my stocker back on, me and a friend decided t odrive around the road for a second to see what people's reactions would be to a car with no hood on...
Anyway...no one noticed! How can u not notice a red valve cover right next to you? the only 1 kid that noticed was some guy waiting to cross the street with the most confused look on his face as i VTEC'ed it past him lol. ah well. I need to find something constructive to do.

people in cali do that all the time, although its usually with a hella ghetto car missing a lot more than the hood, good weight loss though now u just gotta remove those unnecessary side panels and whatnot. -rob

Is there a law against hoodless cars in any state? I'm just curious.
If I saw a hoodless car on the road with a nice engine, I'd be surprised. I'd probably do what everyone else would do. Just stare in awe.

why did you sell your CF hood?
hehe..
why did you sell your CF hood?
Sold it cuz...
a) i was in debt
b) there weren't any REAL benefits - 500 dollar 15pound weight reduction? I'll just go on a diet
c) I had my stock hood at school, and my cf hood on the car, I didnt want to deal with having to lug home my stocker and stuff

how is that different with out without a hood? driving a ITR through ghetto parts is going to get attention no matter what...and if the people know whats up the hood being there or not wont matter if they already know what would be under there anyway
