New hood just came in what do you think?

I just got it from Japan. It took almost 5 months to get here. I like it a lot it will drop my under hood temps a whole lot especially in road course situations. It will not hurt in Autocrosses either.

I am waiting on a new RE FC2000 bumper then its all getting painted.



Another angle:

Re: New hood just came in what do you think?

Wow!!

Well I really dont frequent here much because the server speed sucks and its frustrating waiting for a page to load at less than dial up speed.

I am a moderator at

www.nopistons.com

Feel free to join over there. Kathy Atkins of Atkins rotary just signed up there. Judge Ito from JR's Rotary performance is a regular there giving porting and engine rebuilding tips. There are so many power players in the rotary world over there.

The moderation staff works really hard to keep the place positive and free of idiots.

Look at the bright side you will not have to endure trolls from the honda section dropping in to start a flame war over their friends turbo civic anymore.

I am sure AF is not gone for good it will re-emerge.

Re: New hood just came in what do you think?

It was not cheap. But, you get what you pay for.

It was $1250 shipped from Japan to Cali then to Florida.

The build quality and fit of this hid is every bit as good as stock.

I got it here. If you contact Chuck tell him Jims5543 sent you.

Re: New hood just came in what do you think?

Anyhoo... i couldnt ever justfy spending 1200 bucks on a hood like that, no matter how nice. But it does look pretty badass. I bet it'll make defrosting the windshiled in the winter a breeze too

Right now i'm having a hard time deciding whether I like the TII or N/A hood better. On the one hand, the N/A hood is nice snd smooth and flows oh so well with the rest of the car, but on the otherhand, the TII hood says "hey! lokout for me!"...but do I want to warn people? hmm...
