ready to buy quality style hood, dont have enough to spend on a vis so how does this one perform.

 

and what about there carbon fiber mirrors on there website, do they work with electric or manual mirrors

 

Check out bodykits northwest. Look in the sponsor marketplace too!

 

what do the sponsers have to do with it

 

ht sponsers will give you a good price on a better hood.

Dont have enough for a ViS? Isnt the JDMSHIT.COM one like $380? You can get a ViS for that much. But JDMshit.com is a good place, do a search for JDMshit.com and youll find a lot of happy customers.

 

I stand corrected.

Actually the opposite. Think about how often the name is thrown out there or used because people like it or hate it. And then with the people who hate it, and also like it, they want to see what it's all about so the visit the website or our shop and see what we really have available and have actual pictures of our cars on the site with the parts we sell. Regardless, if people still hate us or want to shop elsewhere, that's cool, but the name got your attention and was remembered easily .

 

In that case, it's a good idea. I was thinking in terms of professionalism, which doesn't really matter because you are dealing with mostly 18-25 year olds that are just buying car parts.

 

i've heard good things about JDMshit.com and their products here on h-t. haven't seen a JDMshit hood in person though...anyways, i'm running a VIS one and i am very happy w/ it (fitment and quality is excellent ). i've seen them go for $325+

 

ILL VOUCH FOR NEWMAN; I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM: "JDMSHIT" why would you want a product with the word **** in it? BECAUSE ITS CATCHY!! good deal; good quality you wont be disapointed....

 

just make sure u dont go buying a cheap carbon fiber hood cause u will be wasting ur money i would say just save alittle bit more money and get a better one

 

I've see a JDMshit c/f hood with my own two eyes, the are very nice and fit perfect.

 

okay who are ht sponsers that will give me a better deal on a cf hood,

and who sells vis hoods cheap cause I did a search and only came up with vis and jdm **** and jdmshit seems pretty good and cheap price from what I have heard and researched

 

got good pics of my hood......(im a n00b with digi cams so bare with me)
(sorry file size so big; wanted to get good quality pics!)



THIS IS A JDM **** HOOD to NEWMAN!

After replacing my hood with another stock one last week after wrecking my car, I have determined that a CF hood is a waste of money period. When I went to pick up the hood I picked it up w/ one hand by way of the latch... seriously, the OEM hood is NOT that heavy.

So therefore it is for looks only, and boy howdy does it look ghey w/o paint.

But then why buy a CF hood if it's going to be painted?

Exactly... pointless.

Sorry bud, but you don't share your opinion of how good it looks with everyone on HT. I for one think CF hoods look sick...sure you're not saving all that much weight, but you gotta think of the *bling* factor, if I dare to say so. We could argue for days on this topic, but it's been done before. There will always be people with CF hoods and people without...that's just the way it goes.

sorry bud, but I will share my opinion on a public message board as I please. Don't like it? Tough.

Since when is unpainted carbon fiber considered "bling".... come on, bling is 24" chrome wheels or bigger (I just saw 27's last night ).

 

Okay - I like my CF hood. Alot. To each, his own.

But this thread wasnt about whether or not anybody liked CF hoods...so lets drop it.

 

dont you guys hate the chump that started this thread lol.


okay lets not fight also about how awesome they look, yeah we all know its for looks but hey can you blame us, you got to have looks first, it is what gets us all the ( . ) ( . ) and (|) . catch my drift

I am sorry, but I could not AGREE with you anymore, that is exactly the way I feel about those CF hoods COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY and ABSOLUTELY NO FUNCTION WHAT SO EVER

 

They look nice and save weight. If you don't like how they look unpainted, good for you, don't buy one.

ummm my guess would be that most girls who aren't into cars and don't know what carbon fiber is probably thinks an unpainted hood looks ugly. That's just a guess, though.
