Who is have CF hood? Post your pics here

[Paul Aerodeck86]

May be i will buy CF hood and i want to see how it's look in real life!

[guaynabo89]

The only people that have actually taken pictures of the hood on are tightwhitelx (something like that) and rabbit66. Try searching for those threads.

My hood is still waiting there to be installed. I'll hopefully have it on and painted in a month or so.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Painted? Why would you paint a CF hood? Even for a sleeper I wouldn't paint it. Too expensive to hide it.

[HostileJava]

I personally think they're ugly and would only leave the part that is raised up in the middle unpainted and paint the rest the same color as the car.

[1989 DX R]

CF screams either one of two things:

Hardcore, or Rice.

[Paul Aerodeck86]

How about photos? :D

I would definately be rice, all though the weight reduction to balance the additional audio equipment would be nice.

[88LXi68]

Mine is still in the box waiting for an engine to go into my car. So what would I be...hardcore or rice?? I hope many on the street will think rice :D

[87lxi accord]

i like the cf personally i saw a thread not to lost ago that someone had taken pictures of one on a white car and i thought it looked pretty good.

[HostileJava]

I just don't think it looks right coming down past the popup lights.

Hardcore...for me anyway. Your car is like...my idol. I love the black/black look on 3Geez, and with the CF, you're gonna be totally off the hook.:super:

[BDaccordguy]

i personally think that cf hoods look better on dark cars, because the contrast in color is not so great with the flip ups, i will be looking to get one eventually, i like the cf look.

lol so true so true......why would u think a cf hood would be rice???:huh: i don't quite follow u with that, i mean carbon fiber hoods are what they are either for look or for actual weight reduction they are sweet, and not cheap, it seems to me like the definition of "rice" is changed everyday....:rolleyes:

[1989 DX R]

No, real CF is not rice. Stick on CF is.

Still in the box:eek:

What have you been doing? I took mine out of that big a$$ box as soon as it came in. Had to look for flaws you know.;)

I got some smoothing of the underside to do and then hopefully I'll put it on.

Rice huh

Its pretty funny that most of the people that scream rice wouldn't even have the money to buy one.:rolleyes:

Sorry I don't have any pics of my hood Paul. These are the pics that have been posted.

Here's 88lxi68's hood still in the box :lol

:D Theres my box! :) LOL yea I definitely went over mine when I got it, but I put that thing back in the box sooooo fast after that. I am dying to put mine on...HELL I am dying to get an engine in my car!

[shepherd79]

i don't think CF hood is rice. I think of it as a performance mod.

that's my view on it too, i totally agree, and like was said before, most ppl that scream rice can't afford one anyway, can u smell.....:rant: HATERS? :rant:

[HostileJava]

I'm not saying I don't want one, I'm just saying it's not necessary for my application's. If I had one it would be purely just to say I have one, not at all really for weight reduction.

[NeubJ]

IMO (which doesnt matter) -It does not look good on the our accords.

[89AccordLvr]

i think in my opinion it looks good but its also a perfomance mod. no way its rice and if u paint the car black it would look really good. Did anybody with a hatchback buy one from SITE on the group buy

[i.c.]

need to learn how to use it;)

[Paul Aerodeck86]

Just try to send them letter...
I think they can send it to you without auction. Just for money =)

[i.c.]

really? i didn't want to do the auction

[Paul Aerodeck86]

I don't sure, but i think they can sell hood for you without auction.

[88accord]

cf looks good on black

[i.c.]

yeah, i think it sticks out too much on a white car, it looks ok with silver, but in black or any dark color it looks good...

[BDaccordguy]

i think if you find an auction for a cf hood on ebay, it will give you the sellers website if im not mistaken, its been awhile since ive looked for one, but it had the site i think and prices.

[i.c.]

oh, how much lighter are they then the stock ones, as it is the stock ones are pretty light, or maybe i'm not used to it(my bros hood on his t-bird is about 50 lbs.)

For those who dont like the CF hood contrasting with the lights, I have seen carbon fiber sticky paper. (I guess thats what it was). that should clean up the look of the front end by puttin it on the headlight covers. Should be relatively inexpensive.

BTW-I need a definition of rice. If Fast and the Furious is rice then i wanna be rice. Cuz them cars are sweet.:tongue: (ps see http://www.ricecop.com/ LOL)

Basically rice to me is rediculous body mods and putting stickers on your car that have nothin at all to do with your car and then claiming these so called "mods" make them faster.

Like this:

Now thats a wing. Will they ever learn? :banghead:

[accord86]

WHERE DID THAT CARBON FIBER HOOD COME FROM WHERE DID U GET IT OR WAS IT A CUSTOM MADE JOB

[A20A1]

Custom made... durring a CF Hood group buy.

[dXsquared]

i think that the cars with CF hoods would look 100X better if they painted the strip between the headlights on the hood body color...

Travis

[dXsquared]

[Sabz5150]

If I were to get a CF hood, the parts I would paint are the places to the left and right of the center hump. It would blend nicely with the headlights plus show off the carbon fiber.

[buzzbomber88lx]

Carbon Fiber hoods are cool if they flow with the body lines etc. And if you have performance mods on the motor it is good too. rice is when you cover the biatch in stickers and body graphics and still have stock rims and the car sits a mile off the ground.

[chronicsinners]

is mine rice? because your opinion of rice means nothing to me

[dXsquared]

Travis

[88LXi68]

Chronic... that looks fuckin GREAT. I can not wait to put mine on. Any installation problems??

[tightwhitelx]

man i havent been on here in months i had no idea my car was going to be the subject to so much ps but if anyone as any questions on the install i would be happy to answer as did help in the installation of mine with moonscryer its really quite easy just make sure you have a drill and your grill insert from your oem hood

[89AccordLvr]

that cf hood looks nice... do they still sell them on ebay i wanna get one to put on my black hatchback

[tightwhitelx]

you would have to get with site on that one

[89AccordLvr]

hey as for the installation do you use the oem hood bolts and parts

[accord86]

where can i get a CF hood

[Osiris]

chronicsinners is mine rice? because your opinion of rice means nothing to me

Chronic. Are you talking to me? If so, reread my post and you will see that doesnt apply to your car.
Basically rice to me is rediculous body mods and putting stickers on your car that have nothin at all to do with your car and then claiming these so called "mods" make them faster. If not forget i said anything.

[chronicsinners]

dude its word, any other cf pics from any1?

[89accord_lxi_coupe]

i remember when you guys started the group buy for the cf hoods. it's nice to hear that we can still get them, if we want. I also find it cool to hear from Paul again. I've been wondering how it was going with the aerodeck. last i heard, it was in a garage that was kind of far from his house. If you don't know who Paul is, he's the one that everyone refers to when it comes to getting gauge faces. he also has a pretty kick ass site.

Do you have any other angle pics?

I plan on putting mine on in the next two weeks. If I have time I'll take some pics and post them on this thread.

[NXRacer]

I think that ricecop.com site is fucking gay. There is a certain style that import tuners have and it is different. People who talk shit about imports and their style usually drive big trucks and marry their sisters. Of course, there are some people who go way overboard, but for the most part, different is good as long as its tastefully done. Of course i'm making a generalization here, but I think its cool when somebody does something new and creative. As for the CF hood, i think it looks tight. It would be kinda cool to have CF accents on the headlights, but its not necessary. It is a pretty big weight reduction and they say every 100 lbs lighter is 1/10 off your quarter mile time.

[chronicsinners]

no i really dont have anyother pics of the hood, when i take pictures of my car, the hood isnt really the focal point, im a shitty photographer...

[Paul Aerodeck86]

So... Try to identify these part... :pimp: :pimp: :pimp:

[NXRacer]

i'm suprised the stock hood is so light

[A20A1]

Purrdy... get picsof it on the car... and stick on a carbon fiber sti hood scoop as well :D

[A20A1]

I think I posted this before in tightwhitelx's CF hood pics thread... here is the original thread... it has a few photochops of his car. even CF eyelids http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10013

[89cordlx]

I'll take pics when I eventually put my hood on, it's been the garage ever since I got it. I once put it on ebay, then found out shipping was gonne be insane so I kept it. dunno if I want to put it on right before winter though. oh btw, my car is black so you won't even be able to tell it's there, accept for it'll be ultra shiny compared to the rest of the car hehe

[Sean]

well 89cordlx if you still are toyign with the idea of reselling your CF hood look me up. it would save me the trboule of modling. one. i have acess to stuff to make CF parts but a whole hood is a pita. i was toying with some underhood stuff. but heat has definately got me concrned. im just thinking a CF trunk might be nice. CF fenders and CF upper rad support so i can leave my radiator tilted back like it is.shit maybe even some carbn fiber doors if i get really bored and have nothing better to do with my time. either way im gonna put my car on a diet and dammit im not gonn strip it down. so just give me a holler. PS im in michigan so id be willing to meet somewhere to pick up said hood.

[A20A1]

CF fenders??? mine from the 89 weights less then a lbs it would seem.. I took one off an 86 and it weighed two tones.

I also removed about 6lbs of mud from behind the fender, I could barely tell there was a wire harness running thru there, my fault for removing the plastic undersiding.

[wprocomp]

mine from the 89 weights less then a lbs it would seem.. I took one off an 86 and it weighed two tones.
:confused: there shouldnt be any diff in weight on fenders..unless it has 1.9 tones of bondo on it....

[A20A1]

Seriously... get one from a 89 and it will feel like nothing compared to the 86

[HostileJava]

Weight reduction good, thin metal bad.

I couldn't agee any more with that and it is true that a 100lbs is about 1/10 off your quarter.
