any good CF for the USDM R's

 

I hear VIS makes a good CF hood, can't confirm this though...anyone else?

 

any pic of the inside view and outside?

 

http://www.factorxmotorsports.com just ordered mine from them. From what I understand they are of very good quality. Was reffered from someone on this board. I was very impressed after I spoke to them on the phone. You can get standard or spoon weave.

 

I have a VIS and it is the cleanest I have ever seen on a teg. Fiber Images also makes a good looking one, but the clear coat on it is not as shiny.
the bottom of my hood looks just like stock, it uses same bolts to mount up to and the ring that goes into the hood pop has held up great for six months now at speeds to 100+ on the freeway with NO problem (w/no hood pins).
I cant say that I have seen any better hood on the market for the price and quality!
good luck I hope you get a good one

 

do you have any pics of your hood?

 

FactorXhood I will have pics of it later on next week. But if you search there is a thread with pics already.

 

I don't think the pics are there anymore.

 

Yeah, your right. They are gone.

 

I have a Fiber Images hood and love it,it has only a outer frame no X in it, its the best fit i've seen for the tegs. Clear Coat is shiny as hell to me lol

Those look very nice, hows the fit?

 

Great fitment!!! About a normal gap that the Stock hood has, The edges are all even around the hood. Its a Fiber Images hood too. only thing i have to do is adjust the hood latch system down a tad it sits a little high, but besides that i love it, no hood pins that allow quick access to your goodess.

 

It took me a while looking at hoods before i found 1 i liked. most hoods don't fit, ie real bad gaps around sides or to short. actually this hood is off a buddy of mine that did a JDM conversion on his car and could no longer use the hood. This Fiber Images Hoods retails for about $600 bucks.

 

What's a good website that hosts Pictures that can be linked? Webshots doesn't link once u log out your account.

 

 

Is it expensive?
