    Carbon Fiber Hoods

    Hey, Ive been thinking about Carbon Fiber Vented Hoods and i was wondering if anyone has either of these and if they are even worth it. Should i just get an OEM Carbon Fiber Hood?

    personally, i think both of those look terrible. I have a OEM style CF hood that i will prob paint body color once the clear coat starts to yellow.

      The second one is the better looking of the 2 but I personally dont think that those kind of hoods look good on our accords.
      I would just get an OEM style one.

        Yeahh im not really into them either, i mean i like the idea of a vented hood but they look a little tacky. Ive seen a "invader" style hood before CF but it was very small and had small little vents i believe. Know what im talking about?

          The evo style CF hoods looked alright to me, but still not my style. If the CF look is what you want, stick with OEM and put a rake on it...

          or take a look at some of these...

              Bill(BillKisme) had one of these for sale before the site went down. He might still have it if you feel like making a drive to Baltimore.

                What do you mean put a rake on it and what about the VFiber OEM CF Hood?

                  He means put washers(or a friend of mine used small sockets) between the bolts and the hinges to raise the back up forming a slight rake(front lower than rear) on the hood.

                      Word. again, its not my style, but some people digg it.

                      As for the VFiber hood page...thats not a pic of a CB hood, so im guessing whatever they're offering will be the same as any other OEM CB7 CF hood.

                          vented hoods don't look all that great on our cars, and besides, have you ever seen how much dirtier an engine bay gets with vented hoods?

                              Ha. My buddy used 12MM 3/8 drive sockets on a 240 and it actually helped him with his overheating problem on the SR20 with a T28 pushing 22lbs... Then he installed meth which apparently helps his coolant temp(thought it only helped IAT's?).
