carbon fiber hood VS carbon and kevlar hood??

[EXR_6]

think of getting one of those. give me your feedback

[AccordWarrior]

Riiight.

You're going to have us a little more to work with than that. Pictures of your car...what you hope to accomplish...even what you want to know about them.

[MikeW]

Yeah...what do you wanna know?

That i know of Carbon-Kevlar hoods dont exist for our cars. If they do theyre either very expensive or very hard to come by. Ive only seen a few in my times and they were all on civics, so...

I would think CF would be your best bet. Itd be a good idea to have hood-pins, and drilling through CF can already be a hazardous, nerve-racking trick...now you might have to drill through CK?!

Not worth it.

Now if you do manage to get it on and everything setup, great, but i personally wouldnt take the chance.

CF > CK

carbon fiber is cool. carbon kevlar has no purpose unless you want to stop a bullet


if your car is totallystock other than that hood or you have shitty ebay mods then do us a favor and dont do it

[EXR_6]

you guys dont believe me about the hood check this out then

That guy was/is a member here...

And nowhere in that thread does it say that its a CK hood...

Plus, they look so much alike, that you can barely tell the difference. Youd need a good camera to prove so on the net. Otherwsie, its a "in person" kinda thing.

We're not saying we dont believe you. Ive seen them, so i know they exist. As for being mass-produced for the 90-93 accord, i doubt it. If they are, im unaware of it.

I imagine one can be made or fabbed, but as mentioned earlier, its gonna cost ya.

i may be wrong, but dont cf/kv hoods have a more olive colored tint?

olive hood=lame.

[enVmeACCORDngly]

are those pins really necessary because alot of people that i see rocking cf hoods around here dont have those pins just curious because this gave me a second thought about buying a cf hood.

[MikeW]

olive hood=lame.

That ive seen/heard, CK(Carbon-Kevlar---not CF) can be painted easir than CF hoods. Dont know why...just what ive heard.

As for the pins, theyre not Necessary, but the latches on alot of CF hoods have been know to be shotty or..."under-supported" and when you're forking out $300, $400 or $500 for a hood, and theres a chance the latch might give out at about 65mph...some $12 hood-pins become a pretty good investment...

^either that guys crazy or its really expensive shit...

[DAMIEN]

cf hood is good enough, ur not taking ur cb into space. as for the color, if you really want a colored tinge to, then get a tinted cf hood. seen a silver one and they look really good

[crazymike]

yea get a colored carbon fiber hood. they look SWEET!!

[Midnightmach]

Yea carbon kevlar are a waste of money. Stick to a CF or coloured CF for extra HP

[AccordWarrior]

I definitely saw a carbon/kevlar hood available for the CB7 in my travels at some point.

I've seen em with gold, red, and blue weaves.

They're hard to find, but they are out there.

[ric3rboi23]

but i wanna see one with multiple weave colors.

and yes, teh colored ones do give you extra hp
but you dont need that, do you?
