Went today to get my CF hood from the Shop today and the hood is not that great. For $525 they could do a better damn job. The car itself looks great from a distance but it doesn't fit like it supposed to, it leaves a big gap up front and on the sides. That was one of the reason that I was holding back on getting one. Also the hood wouldn't close so it took a while to get it adjusted. I was about to to put my OEM back and the hell with it. I'm not happy with it, everytime that I get something for the car it seems that nothing will fit right. It makes me so mad, sometimes I think about selling the car. I will use the hood for this Car Show season and sell it afterward.

yikes. I have heard some crap on how CF hoods dont fit teggies too well. Can you return it or do anything?

 

well did it cross your mind that not all will be perfect to fit....... it is called OEM style for a reason....

 

Oh, sure!!!!!you are pretty helpful.......... are you try to give me a lecture on auto 101? No **** OEM, duh!!!!!!

i think you need to pop a midol and calm down. anythin aftermarket is not goin to be as good as OEM fitment wise. try and get your money back for it since you do'nt like it and if that do'nt work jus sell it. easy as that.

 

cf hoods look like crap on non balck teggies anyway.

 

i know the feeling, its like when you cant fit your **** in to your boyfriends *******.

it gets frustrating

 

ahhhhh that was uncalled for

 

Extreme.

 

Oh, we got jokes now bitches!!!!!!!

 

i didnt mean it to come out like that...... i apologize if it did.. (maybe a little too late for it)

anyways...ive notice if not all of cars that have bodykits or CF hood and lips that they are not direct fit...... you know why its copies of copies after copies.....

if you check out other cars you will see some imperfections about something if they added/change to the body.... unless it is from the manufacturer itself it will not directly fit with out any minor/major changes....

again i didnt mean to come out as a know it all.. im just trying to let you know that you are not the only one with imperfections.......

 

Try a fiberimage hood esa.

 

I think you can readjust the hood from its bolting points.. that way minimizing the gap.. same thing happend to my integ..the left gap was larger the the right..so i just adjusted the positioning of the hood.. the gaps aren't that noticeable now..

 

apology accepted
I'm just mad because I seen other hood with a better fit than mine. I understand that non OEM parts will not fit perfect, but it seems that 94-01 Integras CF Hoods fitment is bad doesn't matter who make them.

I might try to return it, probrably I will have to pay freight charges.

 

Good fit is determined by the brand. Those shitty *** $250 hoods on ebay don't fit worth crap. All FI hoods I've seen, fit perfect.

 

although them POS CF hoods that cost $250 sounds too good to be true dont have to fit for ****. usually the higher the cost of an item and the brand name depends on the quality of their product. like machaf said. the fiber image CF hoods fit just perfect.

 

That is very true and I would not be that mad if I paid $250 for it. But I paid $525 for mine and it was not from eBay.

Who told you to get a TC Spoiler hood anyhow?

$525 for a CF hood? That's absurd.

 

damn, that sucks. ultra high price too.. can you return it?

 

Well $525 including freight charges. Anything cheaper than $450 for CF Hood is probrably absurd or maybe found on eBay. I'm not really sure what is your price for a CF Hood but I would said that from $375 to $475 is the average price. Anyway the Shop that I deal with the main supplier is TC Spoiler and I also had an in store credit. All my friends had bought CF Hood for their cars (Civics, Preludes & RSXs) are TC Spoiler and they look good. So I went with the same supplier.

 

apparently TC is pretty big on the east coast. my shop also deals only with TC for pretty much anything CF. now i have seen some good stuff come from them(my rear spoiler) and also my buddys eg hood, but i have also seen some pretty nasty stuff as well. right around 5 bills is our price as well...did it take a long time to get it?

 

wonderful, i was looking to get a VIS cf hood for my 91 crx..

 

i get vis hood for 350... but shipped now thats a different story......

 

vis hood-330 out of door if you are local
