Re: Are carbon fiber hoods strong enough? (itr1244)
i have VIS one for a year. and still like new~!
Also, i heard alot of good things about FiberImages.

For you to sit on? NO.
For it to cover up the motor? Sure.

Factor X is great, unfortunitely, 8/10 that are shipped get damaged. It's is doubtful that they will even continue to make hoods.

Ahem,
Fiber Images = Crap, They are by far the most commonly used CF hood, everyone has them but they r the bottom of the barrell. VIS is good for the money, try http://www.jdmhondaparts.com they replica the spoon one. Spoon is one of the better ones, BodykitsNW does excellent work, but my fav would have to be "Benen" try http://www.benen.com And yes, you can stand on these things, they're the strongest ones on the market, but hard to get if u dont live in N. Cali
