Long story short my fiberglass hood let go and flew at my windsheild, sucks ***** but it happenned, ripped it off on the side of the road now I need something else

Do all 88-91 civic and crx hoods interchange on the stock crx hinges or should I grab the onoes off another car?

Thanks

 

seems liek they are offset a bit. dont quote me. i am pretty sure the frame under the hood is different as well. not hte most usefull information

 

civic hatch and crx hoods are the same. I believe the 4-door and wagon hoods are different.

 

good enough info for me

A fiberglass hood? Did it happen to have any hood pins installed?

 

had carbon fiber hood locks installed, musta somehow came loose on the shitty drive home throuhg the backroads

No hoot latch though

it's not odd at all. If he is talking about those fake CF hood locks then they are NOT intended as a substitute for a hood latch. They should only be used in conjunction with the latch.

Real hood pins, not locks, can be used w/out a latch.

 

i know a buddy that did the same thing and didnt get a latch...the hood came flying up on him also.

 

Yeah it sucks, Im not to worried about it though because the hood was a bit of an eye grabber so Im gonna grab a stock one and go back to the hood pins and fab in some sort of locking system so they cant be openned
