Do a search through archived threads for "Factor X".

I know you'll find all the info you're looking for.

Thanks, here it is for anyone else.

customerservice@factorxmotorsports.com

I just called them and they informed me that they wont be selling these hoods anymore. Get one while you can!

Then you need to see mine! The best hood I've seen for an integra and all my friends and people I meet seem to think so as well. I'm always at a drag strip, auto-x, or car show such as hot imports night and I must say best fit and finish I've seen, and once I lowered my hood lock latch and installed the hood rubber lip I haven't had any hood flex at all at speeds over 100mph and thats without hood pins. However I thought they were not shipping these hoods anymore.

Mine fits really well and I am happy with the finish. I ended up pinning mine just to be safe.

If you live locally just stop by and I'm sure they'll let you look at their batch of hoods and let you pick the one of your choice. You can't go wrong there.

Because almost every hood they shipped out was damaged and they were tired of replacing them.
