Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes good quality carbon fiber hoods for the JDM Integra?? Need show quality.

 

I think the VIS is show quality.

 

Carisma too.

 

I'll sell you mine for 500 shipped, with hood pins already intact yo

 

thanks for the offer but shipping would be too much. Unless your gonna throw the shippin in.

 

how good are VIS CF hood and other brand of CF hoods vs. Kaminari CF hoods

below is Kaminair Vs. brand X hood
it look very impressive. anyone got this hood on your itr?

how are the fitment? any gaps?


what is the BEST CF hood period? for the USDM front end?


vs. brand X

anyone?

 

I honestly haven't had the chance to see the Kaminari. I believe that this would be my choice though. Kaminari has good products...just a little pricy though. It looks like it has everything I am looking for. Rolled edges, good quality with a nice finish. They even have the hood latch. Just hope they make it for the JDM Integra.

 

well dude give them a ring and find out.

if you get it take come pics and do a review for us

 

Depends on what your looking for...VIS has a great fitment and finish, but its hardly saving you any weight. On the other hand, there are a bunch of companies that make very light hoods but its up in the air as to whether it will fit ur car well.

and then there are some that will fit like poop...

 

i'm looking for an OEM USDM fitment without using hood pins.

the Kaminair looks like very good quility, but i've never seem it in person.

 

Yeah, if that happens, just sell it off to one of your boys.

 

I would never do **** like da to my boyz

 

<--- done it...

 

kaminari doesnt make jdm hoods.

 

good luck.
post some pics of your hood.

 

Yup, and how come everyone only cares about quality and fitment. Peeps seldom talk about actual weight savings.

Most weight saved without fitment issues and gross defects should be the best hoods ... in my opinion, unless everyone's getting CF hood for cosmetics only. Then wht a waste of carbon fiber.

 

most cf hoods dont save any mentionable weight.

 

if you get it take come pics and do a review for us



Haha.. I know its a typo but it sounded funny as hell. Haha. I already emailed them and they haven't returned anything. Someone posted that they don't make it for my application.

 

Not that makes a difference as far as performance goes but they are way lighter than stock. All the little things add up.

 

I heard that fiber images I think it is are very good they wont break and look good but from the pics I dont think that I would go with brand x. that rust gets on my nerves

 

Nighthawk GS-R has a VIS hood and the fitment and quality are unsurpassed. Definatly look him up and get the details from him

 

For the JDM Hoods I would reccomend Spoon, pricey, but damn...you get what you pay for

I heard that Spoon doesn't roll their edges on the carbon fiber hood. Does anyone know if that is true??
