The other day, I saw a Civic Si with a blue and white weave carbon fiber hood. It really made the 2000 Civic Si cool, plus it was more low key, yet agressive. I have a white car and wouldn't mind if there was a white weave out there. Anyone know of any such thing?

 

Never seen white. But I've seen red, blue, and yellow, as well as carbon kevlar hoods which are yellow/black.

Actually, I've seen yellow/black hoods as well.

What I'm wondering is who even sells them in the first place. That way I can ask them if they carry white.

 

Actually i read this in Honda Tuning i think, but all they do is put a coat of transparent paint on them then a clear coat. Thats all it is.

That can be done. I met a guy that had a body shop shoot his carbon fiber hood with red paint and clear. It came out a dark burgondy color, that was pretty close to his 240's stock paint, so it worked out. I'm sure there are companys out there that offer colored weave

 

i remember when carbon fiber hoods served a purpose other than a fashion accessory for hondas

I remember when show cars were sporting huge 18-19 inch wheels instead of Spoon and Mugen wheels, and roll bars were for safety, not hanging amp racks on, whats your point?

 

function before fashion

rrrriiigghht, but how does that help this guy find an answer to his question. I hear where you're coming from, and I agree. I bought my hood 3 years ago to drop some weight from my fat pig Si hatch, and don't care how it looks, but times are changing. People like what they like, and right now I see EVERYTHING in cf, including headliners and door skins?!?

 

rightfully so, this is just my opinion. Its not on my car, so i really dont care, but I think its rediculous to see every buying parts for the wrong reason. But Hey, thats what keeps all these companies in business. The bandwagon.

Exactly! My function is to be a sleeper. So I find a same color CF hood, or I find a bad quality CF hood and have a body shop paint it to match my car.

 

CF hoods look horrid, paint it to match the car

Fiberimages seels colored carbon fiber/kevlar hoods, if I'm not mistaken. Also, if you ever get in a gun fight, you can always unlatch your hood pins and use the carbon fiber/kevlar hood as a shield!

 

i like the carbon fiber look.
i if i can get a full body of carbon fiber i will

lol i wouldnt wanna get my hood all F'ed up!! screw that, id rather die.

 

Fiberimages also sells cf EG6 fenders. For all those haters who think unpainted cf hoods are a stlye invented by ricers, I kindly refer you to the late 60s. Black hoods have been around on hi-po cars fora long time.
