I had a Fiber Images CF hood on my EK. I must say it was awesome quality. Fitment was awesome and the weave was great. Just have to find who distributes for them, but they are still around!

I still remember their videos on their site sutting it over and dropping tires on it etc to show how durable it was.

A local here has one on his JDM front. He freaked me out everytime he banged on it. I got burned on the quality of my ViS so I'v never really considered getting another. However, I always said if I ever bought another CF hood it would be a Fiber Images.

I had one on my EK as well. I contacted them in 03 about some quality issues with it. In their email reply I was informed that they where being "bought out" by an overseas supplier and would no longer offer any support to the US market beyond that point. Here's their site. http://www.fiberimages.com/main.html
Notice how none of their products go beyond 2004. Where can you find new Fiber Images stuff at?

Manchester (Connecticut) Honda's performance parts section is where I got mine.

 

I'll never own anything by VIS again, my Hatch is cracking and my hood is fugged

 

Vis went from sorta quality to mass production - crappy quality.

I did. Thats why I asked.

 

yeah they are still around, i have some friends who are pretty close with them,
i will try to get you a direct contact.

 

I love my FI hood. Excellent quality.

 

Contact StreetLightz. They work with FiberImages on their FD2 project car.

I too have a Fiber Images hood, 6 years old now and still looks awesome. Good Fitment. Very light compared to VIS crap.

 

of all the cf hoods i had the fiber images one was the absolute lightest although fitment wasnt perfect it was the best hood ive ever owned when it comes to quality!!!

 

plus its pretty sweet how Fiber Images is embossed into the hood

 

FI FTW..

 

sorta back from the dead, but has anyone found out who distributes their products or anywhere that is carrying their products?

 

The latch on my EK Fiber image hood looks pretty flimsy.

For those of you who owned Fiber image hoods, were hood pins recommended from the manufacturer? Did you use them?

Hoodpins are a general recommendation for any CF hood. They are always labeled "Off-road use only," for that reason.
