Cams......and that will be 80% of the vote. Get the cams......go fast then look good....if you look good and cannot go, you suck.

I'd go with the cams too. Cams will give you more power which is always good.. a CF hood will give you more looks, which is not always good. A clean looking car attracts less theifs.. put a CF hood on and they'll know you got more money sunk in elsewhere.

Plus this is just a fad..

The hood will save you some weight also, but CTR cams are an excellent upgrade to pick up. Get the cams

Cams if you have the money to tune. If not, save a few more pennies

Just curious, how much are you getting for the cams and hood?

Of course I'd get the cams since they come with valve springs, and you already have gears with them .

Wait... you DO have a B-series VTEC motor right?

get the crower stage 2's, they are in my friend's 95 CX

del sol vtec motor B16A3
stock bottom end
toda flywheel
exedy street clutch
civic type r trans
crower stage 2 cams
crower valve springs
skunk2 cam gears
skunk2 titanium retainers
no portwork
skunk2 intake manifold
dc jdm 4-1 with 2.5" collector
type 1 canister with 2.5" piping
vtec afc
skunk2 chip

this car is a lot of fun.
get the cams first.

civic type r's are a waste when compared to the crowers. the crowers go for about $650 a pair. that is the cost of a shipped c/f hood.

I would defentely go with cams before the cf hood. I'm feeling the hood and all but you'll be feeling the cams way more.
