I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

CRX finally has a hood again :)

Post by CivicRacingGirl7 » May 25, 2004

Seeing as I sold my USDM hood a few months back, and it's taken about 1-2 months for my new hood to arrive, the CRX finally has a hood again :)

It's a VIS CF SiR hood:

the pictures aren't too great, but better than nothing... there are no cracks or scratches on it :)

Very nice. Makes me want to splurge on a VIS to ditch my shitty JDMshit.com hood (worst hood ever).

underside: real CF or fibre like most ViS hoods?

(not hating, just not into the whole half wacked job thing that ViS often does from my point of view... like the useless wiper hole in the CF hatches for the CR-X...)

most companies offer an option to have a complete carbon fiber understructure, but it's an additional cost as well. i'm pretty sure that just underneath of the front center area is carbon fiber.

i wanted a fiber images hood, but when i was looking to order i had just received the new FI catalog and pricing and they didn't offer the one i needed :(

might put it on tonight though, if not then tomorrow. just need someone to hold it heh, i'm too afraid of damaging it :(

so get some hood pins :P you can get some sparcos for about $25.

yeah, cf is meant for weight reduction, but most of the market for it chooses it for show purposes.
