Default Lightweight hood

Somebody gave me the link to a site that makes CF and FG hoods, unfortunately I am becoming senile and I forgot where I put it. Can you please list it again for me. Thanks. (I believe it was something like CP raciing)

Be sure to get one that fits so it doesn't look like doo-doo.

Dumb question of this thread, can you paint c/f hoods? My stock hood is strating to rust on the bottom and I was thinking about painting a c/f hood to replace it. c/f on gold just does not look good to me. (i have the heathermist/gold colored accord)

I'd like a CF hood too so shave some weight off my porker, but I'd really have to see the actual piece I'm buying before paying for it. THat's probably not going to happen and there are a lot of bad CF parts out there...

Yeah her name is amber (she goes by pearaccord over at honda society) I should proably ask her how she had hers done. Once my turbo and h22a are in a nice cf hood with some vents for race days would be nice with just a standard one painted for normal day to day (or times when i need to go sleeper).

You don't like street legality, do you?

they let you run at FIR w/o a hood. and that a NHRA strip. im sure no hood has nothing to do with legality. although im sure some oinkie oinks would give you ****.
