You should specify hatch, CRX or sedan.

It will likely work just fine, but if you're a perfectionist the small differences will drive you crazy.

that's the thing, i'm still stuck trying to decide whether or not to go carbon fiber, fiberglass or metal. Either way the hood will get painted to match the car. It would kinda look cool to pop the hood and see a nasty motor/turbo setup and notice the carbon fiber on the bottom side of the hood. I have a some time to think about it though.

Well if you are using the JDM headlights you will need the JDM hood. That's why I asked.

I had a ViS CF ZC on my old CRX and I was very happy with the weave, fit and overall quality.

It was late '04 so I don't remember. If I was buying it now I'd certainly contact www.weaksauce.org

No free parts, but the guy that runs it is a good guy and has gone out of his way to get me parts he doesn't normally carry. His name is Adam, see if he can get ViS.
