Well some *** decided to brake in the middle of the road and cause an accident. He heard my exhaust and thought I was trying to be a "race car driver" and he decided to come to a complete stop in the middle of a 45 mph road. Anyways, the front bumper needs to be replaced which isnt a biggy since I was putting a body kit on but I was gonna keep the OEM hood. Now I need a new one. I was thinking about a Carbon Fiber hood but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? And any recommendations where I could get a good, clean, well-fitting, nice weave CF hood? Also what weave should I do for the CF hood? And yes I did a search but didnt turn up anything good. Thanks.

 

If you choose to get a carbon fiber hood, paint it please.

 

if you are going to paint it might as well just get a fiberglass hood

 

Good point. Plus that will save you money too...

 

I got a stock 96 accord hood?
need it? email me mkteller8@aol.com

buddy of mine got one... good quality, rollled edges, good latch, didn't need pins...

check out groupbuycenter.com as well.

 

So what happens when someone locks up in the middle of the road and you rear end him?

 

whats the point of painting carbon fiber?

 

if its not a black car, probably to keep the riceboys from jacking it
regardless, if it was to be painted i wouldnt waste the money on it

 

First of all when someone jams on the brakes in the middle of the road it depends.. because he and i both got warning tickets.. he got one for an unsafe stop and i got following too close.. second of all this is a metallic black 99 Accord... so i thought the carbon fiber hood would look nice considerin i have all carbon fiber Autometer gauges... carbon fiber dash .. etc.

 

who sells fiberglass hoods cheap? my moron friend backed up in to me and bent up my hood pretty bad its bowed in the middle so i need a cheap replacement. thanks

 

Obviously you shouldn't have rear ended him, but what a jackass to just stop in the middle of the road. He was asking for it!! When someone tailgates me (I drive slow unfortunately - the speed limit - got 3 points on my license and need to be prepared for a street racing ticket) People are on my ***, especially these Ford and Chevy and Dodge Truck owners. Damn Michigan. Anyway, it's warm out so i have my arm out the window chillin. if they get crazy they will probably crash anyway hahaha.

Get a CF hood!

Alright.. suppose I do get a CF hood.. Who makes a good CF hood? Im not talkin about one with a scoop.. just a OEM style CF hood.. and what weave should i do?

 

like I said...

jdmhondaparts.com
fiberimages.com
do NOT but anything by VIS

watch groupbuycenter.com for good deals

 

I feel you man, driving the daily commute is real testi on the nerves. The only thing that lets me keep my cool is the absolute non-sportiness of the commuter. In the racer its a whole different story, I'll devour anything on 4 wheels... in chunks if its an Stupid Ugly Vagina.

 

i'd go with fiber images if you want the CF hood to show up a little better...the weave on them is at a 45 degree angle going from corner to corner...i know that some of the other brands have just the straight on pattern that isn't nearly as noticable....so if you want your CF to be noticable go with the fiber images!

 

I ended up going with Body Kits Northwest .. The guy was extremely honest and didnt lie... and they are actually manufacturers themselves.. anways.. it seemed to be the best buy for the best price.. thanx for the info
