im planning on pickin up a cf hood but i dont have a big car or a truck and i dont have cash to rent one...

my question is if i take the back seats and the rear panels off of my ek, basically gutting the back, will the hood fit back there????

 

how far do you have to go to pick itu p?

 

No way!!

 

prob wont fit since the hood is as wide as the car..


might want to try and strap it on top if its the only way you can get it...dangerous..but prob doable if its a short distance...


is that where the money's going from the seat..haha

 

I'm sure you have at least 1 friend with a truck or suburb.

 

take off ur stock hood and drive over and install it there!!!


jk but i've known some people who have done that.. :X

 

Its something called put it in at a angle.
If you are scared that it will break put something under the highest point to raise it abit and surport it from hitting the roof/window.

 

It will fit just fine with room to spare; I should know I was under a hood in the trunk of a friend's car for an hour ride home

 

^ ha i guess it fits with room to spare

If it is hatchback then it Will definitely fit. I have done it many times. You must have the hood sideways, front to one side and back to the other instead of lengthwise as it would be facing when installed.

EDIT. Just for info sake I had a 98 EK hood, a 96 GSR hood, and a 97 Prelude hood in the back of a 97 CRV. The Prelude hood only fit with the side panels off and the corner sticking out one window. lol

 

hehe i got a good deal

 

I did it before...... before you put the hood in you have to take the ebrake cover off, then lay both your seats all the way back, you and a freind put the hood in, then lift up on it, and slide and raise both the seats up, then lay the hood down , then put the seats as there were , I did this twice

 

meh do like i did, drive your car hoodless but bring the bolts with you. I drove mine from plano tx to ft worth. (around 60 miles) put the new one on and drove home with it

The two CF hoods I have had both used SAE bolts instead of the factory metric ones. I wish my Fiber Images hood used the stock ones, damn Americans. lol

 

i was able to put my new eg hood in the back of my car shut the hatch and drive home although it wasnt very comfy

 

yea it should fit. you dont have to take out the panels or the seats. just fold it down and stick the hood in sideways. thtas what i did in my eg. i put a jdm itr hood in there like that. move the driver and passenger seat up and it could be done.

 

haha i drove my h22a del sol with NO hood like 7 miles to pann auto to get my cf hood. That was the day when no one would race me. I still cant figure out why.

 

it can be done but it will scrach ur interior

 

you do know that there is packaging around it so it doesnt get damaged, therefore it will not scratch anything right?

Unless you are ummm "careful".

 

It will fit. Put something on the corners so it wont tear the interior.

 

coo coo thanx alot guys

 

hoodless.

 

i think it should fit fine if u angle it. i put a 60 gallon fish tank in my eg hatch and it fit fine.

 

Use the pythagorean theorum...

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

if the width of the area squared plus the height of the area squared is less than the width of the hood squared then you're good to go.
