Typical civic style rice. I'll bet the civic guys just love the way it looks.

I like the 07+ hood look better, the 07+ hoods will fit on my 2003, right?

they are hood pins and they are used in conjunction with the stock release. cf hoods are said to be unsafe overtime without the hood latches - it's more of a 'watch their own *** against lawsuits' sort of deal and more then likely you won't need them, they are just recommended for safety reasons.

hood flying up at high speeds is not fun, and good luck repairing your roof.

still haven't gotten hood pins myself yet.

If that's a rice junkyard... count me in! To each his own though, I suppose.

Thought I might add something to this. We carry a hood extremely similar to that.


All of our carbon fiber products come with an industry leading 1 year warranty against fading/cracking of the clear coat. We only use Grade A carbon fiber for our Carbon Creations line. They are sprayed with a premium clearcoat mixed with UV resistent additive in order to allow us to offer this warranty. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will more than happy to help you out!

Isn't it obvious the Seibon TS style hood is the way to go ...I got mine painted. I don't know how you guys tolerate punk kids wanting to race you all the time. The % of people trying to get me to race in the 5 days I had it CF was like 500% higher then normal. I couldn't stand it, usually kept the windows up because they were so irritating at stop lights.

They almost look like a Porsche GT3 RS style. I think we may need to look into making something similar...
