So I got in a little fender bender, long story short, my stock hood is dented.

I want to get a carbon fiber replacement.

I know there are a lot of companies out there that make carbon fiber hoods for Civics, I didn't want to make a poll out of it..

I'm trying to find out what do you rock as far as c/f hoods go, what company, hows the quality, fitment, and price.

PS. Car is a 2000 Civic.

 

There's a CF hood comparo thread here

Vis has good carbon fiber hoods. They fit great. If your interested call us (626) 573-8383 and ask for Sunny.

 

Bodykits Northwest cf hoods have good reviews.

 

Id definetly go with a VIS.....Ive had mine for a while and they dont fade and the fitment is perfect. Inexpensive when looking at something like a spoon hood too...

 

i have a bknw cf hood and am very impressed by it... great fit, flawless weave, and much lighter than my oem hood.
bknw

 

I dunno. Mine I got lucky on. It is a second hand (dont know manufacturer.) there are some gaps but nothing I cant ignore. Plus my hood was only 50 bucks. Compared to a guy's VIS integ hood it seems a lot heavier than mine. Maybe integ hoods are heavier I dunno but it seemed almost 2x heavier.. Mine weighs about 8lbs.

 

doesnt BENEN makes CF hoods?

ive heard their duckbills fit very well.

 

JDMshit.com

Fitment is amazing. Looks stock and weights next to nothing. The stock hood latch even fits.

 

Out of all replies everyone recommends somethign else

Well I know for sure JDM stuff is out of my financial reach but I'm gonna look into JDMshit, BKNW, and VIS for sure.

 

okay if you want looks from the c/f hood go with vis, you will save some weight and still have the look, no if you are a rcer or have a track car go with the fiber images, they are the lightest but are also pretty expensive, in short:

Looks=Vis or Jdmshit
Performance=Fiber Images

 

I've heard good things about VIS, but do they make hoods with the wiper nozzle holes?

 

If you have a B series swap becareful which hood you get if you go with VIS because there not friendly with B series. You could look for B18C5_EH2 ' s write up on a good *** VIS hood he got thats B series friendly.


Edit: My comment was for EH/EJ's with swaps. Im not sure about 96-00 swaps though.

 

VIS: CF on the skeleton yo. well thats what i rock at least..lol. great fitment
