Now that, sounds like a good idea...

 

 

It looks so effin ghey when people do that.

 

OEM carbon fiber hood FTW imo

 

Do it right the first time my man and save yourself a lot of $$$ and heartache. I will put it to you straight out, the wheels suck, stereo is dated and why TF would you put a CF hood with vents over an OEM engine. Do some research, save some cash and do it right (or at least decent) the first time. Check this site for wheels, crutchfield for stereo and use the cash for engine mods instead of hood...Good luck!!!!

 

I don't think there is a "do it right" option for this guy, much less the first time. Destined for fail, so we should just enjoy the carnage.

 

There are the types of people who make this forum great who like to help people out and give tips and advice, and then there are people like you, go waste your time somewhere else

 

All there trying to say is its not a civic... dont go cheap i would rather you drop 4K on rims then 4K on a rice hood and cheap wheels with **** offsets and a stereo as tthe man stated above cuts off alot.. Go look at others cars and learn from there mistakes.. Save your money and dont blow it on knock off toys

 

OP, check out Work XD9's and some Tanabe GF210 springs. Quality at a lower price.

 

Any carbon fiber hood with an otherwise stock body looks lame.

Want a good stereo? I'm partial to Kenwood DNX7210 and newer models.

 

How does it look lame... if your have nothing done to your car and you get a vented one.. its non functional waste of money

 

in for the lulz.

 

yea you guys are right I just kinda rushed into all of this to make the car look nice, Im gonna save up till I have more money and then make some decisions based on that.

 

Bench-modding...

 

Any vented hood (with working, open vents) is functional. Exterior mods are needed to set it off and make it not look goofy and out-of-place.

Any stock-style CF hood is lame. Not functional, and on a stock body it looks gay and out of place.

Our hoods are already really light, so trying to use a "weight-savings" excuse is worthless. In fact, IIRC, a vendor mentioned that a lot of CF hoods weigh more than the stock hood.

 

Please do some research before you purchase anything and before you post. I am surprised these guys have been so nice to you.


edit: oh yea IBTL

 

lol, fail

 

Im not doing any CF on my car... except for maybe the exhaust shields...
And would never get a vented hood cause im not into the hole body kit b.s.

 

does the fact that the OP is 17 make a difference in his decision making?

 

He is still in his ricing age lol
