Re: carbon fiber hoods for sedans?? (marked001)
actually the sedan's hood is wider/narrower (can't remember) than the crx/hb hood. Brian from HASport had a sedan project car and showed me one day the differences. they're not interchangable with hatchbacks and crxs.
and i've never come across a cf hood made for the sedan...

Re: carbon fiber hoods for sedans?? (91 slow civic)
I have an 88 civic sedan I just got the crx\hb Fiber Images hood from a shop.
What you need to do:
1. The hood hinge will need to be drilled to accommodate for the hood length, forward of the original holes, you may be able to use the crx\hb hinges.
2. Your finders will need to be moved in about 1\4 in. you can do that by unbolting the top bolts and push the finders in and then rebolt in the desired location.
3. At the top of you finders where the finder and the hood start (near the window) you will need to grind to match the different hood lines.(not hard you put the hood on and tape to where you want to grind and grind)
4. You need a 90-91 crx or hb hood latch (the angles are diff from sedan) and the piece that receives the latch with the piece that it bolts on to your core sup.
5. You will need to move that piece out about 1\2 in. to latch correctly.
If I forgot something e-mail me with questions.. It would be easier if you use hood pins. I just did not want to drill and f@ck something up.
The hood is a crx\hb FIBER IMAGES hood I got for $400
It will work no matter what any one else says I have one on my car I just put back on today (winter in Oregon), I will post pics tonight..I also have made a crx WW RS front bumper to fit if you have Q's about that ask\e mail.

Some lines you cant line up but you cant really notice if you do it right and take your time.
