Hey

Anyone own an eg hatch / coupe with a cf hood? I was wondering how much did you pay for it?

OuRkiD

 

I have a CF hood on my 99 Si, but even for an EG, the going rate for a Fiber Images hood is around $525 shipped. Groupbuys are considerably cheaper.

I bought mine used, so I don't count.

 

I believe youre looking at anywhere from 350-550 or so.

 

My friend has one on a Civic Hatch I think he paid around 400 -450, but it looks sweet!

 

ok hears one for u guys. i'm in the market for a cf hood myself and i want to know what do u do with the windsheild pisser fluid things on the stock hood? do u mount them someplace else?

 

I believe you have to bring the hood to a body shop so they can drill a hole for the windshield washer squirters. Or you can get a Spoon CF hood which already has the squirters attached!!

 

I can get you sunny styling CF hoods for 350 plus shipping

 

hye mugeneg6 where do you live? is it the real carbon fiber or a fake one.. theres like 4 different qualites of strenghts of the hoods.. do you know anything about it?

 

Yes its a real carbon fiber hood.

 

When I bought my FI CF hood, I drilled the holes for the washer jets myself. It's not that hard as long as you have a good drill and the right dremel bits.

It all depends on which brand you're planning to get. The cheap ones, with the cheap material that breaks easily, will cost you around 350. The Spoon which I believe is the best, is around 1300.

 

how are the fittings of the lower price or off branded CF hoods?

 

Is that y it cost $1,300???

ITR 2K- No wonder y u asked me how much it cost for a Spoon CF hood...

I can get the VIS CF hood for only $400 hehehe... I still need $400 to buy it tho

 

I have pics on my site of when I drilled out my hood for the wiper squirters.

It's in the 'modifications' section.

 

cool site gamby

 

thanks

 

I'm getting my CF hood for my EG from www.jspectuning.com and its made by TC Spoilers and one of my friends has already gotten one from there and the fit is good and the quality is pretty much the best i've seen..no flaws in the stitching or anything...sometimes its worth it to pay the extra buck to get quality..why get a cf hood that looks all rejected and unaligned when you can spend that extra hundred bucks for near perfection? thats all i'm sayin..hah by the way I'm not sure on the price but last i checked it was $525 shipped anywhere so check the site out...good stuff and good prices...

 

I have a JHP.com CF hood for my Si. 525shipped

pissers were predrilled in the hood

great quality fit was excellent the edges of the hood were nicely rolled unlike the FI hoods where it's basically a rough edge. I'm very happy with my hood closes tight too! has holes predrilled for the weather stripping also .

 

benen hoods are great.

 

if your in the area of SO cal you can get a fiber image hood for 400$. go to jdmhondaparts.com and you can pick it up for 400$ im going to be calling them tomorrow to get a hood for my teg. thier store is in temple city. i also remember there was a list of other afflilates with jdmhondaparts that also did this but i cant find the link anymore.

 

Benen Hood is the #1 on the market, You can stand on em and they dont even loose shape. Amazing hoods, Lighter than spoon, and stronger by far. No need for hood pins. Intead of using Fiberglass as a backing they use Kevlar! Amazing not as cheap as the FiberImages BUT if you wanna pay more and get the best hood ever IM me.

mrx you think we could get a group buy from them?

 

I've had 4 CF hoods, and none of the met my standards of fitment and quality.

I've heard people are very satified with Benen hoods.

Cost - $925


Spoon hoods are $$$, but they use the factory mold, which is a GOOD thing. they fit right, are lightweight, and have UV protective coating. I think you can get them for around $1k.

There's another company making hoods that they claim are perfect. I haven't seen one yet, but my buddy has one, and he LOVES it. He's more **** about fitment than I am, and he says his hood fits perfect. They also have a 3year warranty and use a UV protective coating.

Let me see if I can find the link.......

Here it is... http://www.dgmotorsports.com

$795 for a EG hood, here's the pic.
