does anyone know of a site that sells any oem looking fiber glass hoods for my ef hatch? i mainly want it for lightness, i would get cf but to expensive plus shipping, thanks

It's for a CRX, but the hood will fit a Civic 3dr hatch but WONT fit on a Sedan. Sedans have longer front ends on them for some reason.

 

damn, i might as well just get a carbon fiber for that price shoot

 

It's 240 for a fiberglass or ~500 for a Carbon Fiber one. There is very minimal weight differences between Fiberglass and Carbon Fiber. Carbon fiber is more of a "bling" factor. My opinion is function > form. Way I see it is if you place 2 EF's next to each other one has a fiberglass hood and one has a Carbon Fiber hood, which do you think someone is going to steal first? The one with the CF hood, because it's prettier.

 

not necessarily. i had both my crx's one in front of each other. my 90 ls/v crx with a cf hood and a completely stock 89 crx with a primered black hood. ls/v crx had fogs n all that, and only the 89 crx was stolen. it all depends on what they need.

OP its all up to preference, if you want a fiberglass hood they can be had for around $200, if you really want a CF hood just be patient. i paid $200 for my VIS Carbon Fiber ZC hood.

 

I wish someone made a usdm sir-style fiberglass hood.

There you go SiR hood in fiberglass is a good brand and only 100dls over the oem one.

 

awesome, thanks! I have been looking for one for a while and could only find oem style. I emailed them to confirm that it is SIR style for usdm front and they are.

 

Wow sorry to hear about the CRX...Most thieves will go for the stuff that has the best resale if they don't plan on using it. Atleast around my neck of the woods they do.

 

oops! i miss read it, ya that sucks bro, i hate thieves, lmao my friend was telling me about this anti theft thing they have for like 100,000 sports cars its like a flame thrower angled at a 45 degree angle under the sidfe skirt of the car so if someone tries to jack it well you know toasty haha i havent searched for it but sounds wicked

 

That's funny, 'cause I wish someone made a usdm sir style hood out of metal...
