I have a 2000 civic SI

just wondering what kind of Carbon fiber hoods you all are using?

im currently using a Seibon and most likely going to be returning it due to fitment issues.

 

i hear VIS is the closest to oem fit, you might want to give them a shot

 

That's strange. The few Seibon hoods I've seen had really good fitment. Even more so than the Vis hoods I've seen. Maybe you just got a bad one.

 

yea, the company i ordered the Seibon through, is going to try to reorder and maybe itll be better. It just has a little raise on the drivers side in the middle. The hood should be moe at a slant and the hood just isnt. So when im driving on the highway, that side shakes so much, and the other side doesnt move..

 

ive recently seen ALOT of threads lately trashing vis's quality over the past years

 

just for everyones reference the Vis hood and Seibon hood will fit the same per say. They buy them from the same manufacture. It just all depends on the person or group doing the post assembly. The biggest problem is they box them before they are fully cures. so they sit on a container from china while they are still curing so the take the shape of the box

 

carbon creations, and i recommend them I ordered one for my DA 3 years ago and it had perfect fitment. I'm ordering one for my new ej8 from them as well as soon as i get cash that is

don't quote me on this one but I think they are the same manufacture as well. Almost 80% off all carbon hoods and trunks/hatches in our market come from the same factory. Just all private labeled. Just sway clear of c-wings

Like I said I am not that positive about carbon creations but most are made in the same place

 

i have a vis, lets just say i'll never buy another one of their products...

u wanna elaborate on that? what happened and why not?

 

most of the complaints I have heard is they turn yellow within a couple months. I have had 2 ViS hoods on my cars before I got into it and they both turned yellow. My Accord hood did not fit very will too

 

damn that sucks, and i thought they were the best in the industry

 

Seibon fit my 95 delsol perfectly

first off, it has dimples where the top layer is glued to the skeleton. second, it looks like the middle is sagging. this was all within one summer, car is never outside baking in the sun either. good enough reasons? no problems so far with yellowing but i'm sure that will probably happen soon...

 

good reasons, now i know which not to get thanks. Carbon-Creations has given me no problems

 

so far i've tried vis and all I got to say is STAY AWAY. My hood looks okay from the top but everything else is horrible, especially the underside. Fitment also sucks as, but b/c vis customer service is so bad and the person I bought it from goes with what vis had to say, I'm stuck.

 

i saw a carbon creations trunk the other day and it looked like it fit good

 

i have a seibon and live in florida so it takes a beating from the sun. Fitment was great. Just keep messing with all the adjustments youll get it. Best looking hood i have ever owneed.

I have ad VIS, seibon, carbon by design and seibons def. the best so far...

hey are you ever going to do anything with th 98-02 accord sedan? preferably a 4dr trunk?


why does c-wings suck the nuts? unfortunatley theyare the only company that makes trunks for me

 

i bought my carbon hood couple of years back from a company called fiber images and i will tell you it fits perfect and quality is 110% and i am a **** moofoo i have no idea if they are even around any more but if they aint it is a shame they had some good stuff

 

i was just wondering about the fitment of hoods, and bam there was this thread.

nice job on everyone's answers, very helpful
