If you have money you can get one. It will surely cost you more because its a one of a kind deal. Dont rely on email you have to call the shops and talk to them. Thats one thing i know is if you want something its all about the money.....Just is it worth it?

He put prelude lights on his car, and you ask is it worth it? Too late for that. ;)

Also, why do you have to go back to stock?

Black might look funny with your paint, but carbon fiber would look rad. Gonna be expensive. And dont you hate when people reply without answering your requests?

you are what i like to call shit out of luck, you jumped the gun as far as aesthetic accord upgrades and did a headlight conversion, you dont have a chance of getting a Cf hood made, sorry about the pessimism but its just not going to happen. had you waited on the crazy conversion (which i dont think was worth the money) you could have had one, oh well tough luck, enjoy your conversion after all you HAD to have it.

If your hood is the 3G stock, but modified for your conversion, couldn't you buy a 3G carbon fiber hood and have a shop modify it to fit? Carbon fiber can be cut, shaved, etc. if it's done correctly. That's how people put hoodpins and washer nozzles in their CF hoods - they cut holes in them. I'm sure you could cut it to fit.

$3500 too much for a complete custom head light/taillight convershion with a custom pearl paint job, i got all the jams done, every inch of the car except the bay, but i am getting the bay done when i take the motor out for my new one. plus i got madd rust spots fixed. a side swipe in my rear quarter fixed, i got my side moldings shaved, door handles shaves, my antenna shaved, and your gonna say $3500 if too much? where do you get your work done, macco?

Ladies Ladies!!!! no fighting alright? that's not nice.... But umm if u want a cf hood and dont wanna do a OEM conversion, just get some of that APC (the official company of Ricers around the world, and proud sponsors of the Fast and Furios 1,2,3,4, how many ever there are) fake cf contact paper and slap it on there.. just hope it stay on with the rain and snow

even if i mold it with fiberglass it wont have that carbon fiber look. i dont want some cheep sticker hood, that would be so tacky. i want the real deal!

you have to find an extremely skilled Cf worker to do a 1 off hood, start lookin. CF is molded very similar to fiberglass, its just fabric and epoxy. As for you gettin all pissed about my comment, chill out, dont take something that some random dude on the interent said to heart, afterall its your car. but my personal opinion would have been to spend that 3500$ on the engine and suspension rather than fixed headlights.

ummm,you right,but my suspenshion is complete with fulle sei braking, tokico blues and suspenshion tec springs. i have a b16a2 n my basement and i just recently redid the head on my a20a just for g.p. s my suspenshion and engine are all taken care of
as for my comments, no hard feelings

cool duude, just makin sure your keepin it real, honestly tho, i would see if i could get a custom Fiberglass hood, light weight but no Cf effect.

If you can't find a custom hood you should consider what PortugalHonda said. You could get a sheet of carbon fiber paper and it's just like vinyl stickers and vinyl graphics. You could get somebody experienced in working with vinyl to apply the carbon fiber, then a paint shop to clearcoat over top of it. That way it won't peel off and nobody will be able to tell the difference. It would be alot cheaper and easier than a custom hood. However, looking at your mods I'm not so sure that you're interested in price or ease. Just something to think about.
