Carbon Fiber hood for Civic - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Blkmax · 10-30-2006, 12:13 PM

recently, i have been looking into getting a c/f hood for my 2000 civic. I found that VIS is pretty inexpensive, but someone told me that they have a bad fit. Anyone know from experience, or know of any good brands for a decent price???

I had a VIS on my Integra fitment was 100%. My buddy had a Fiber Images on his 00 SI Fittment was also 100% but the weave was not as good as the VIS. Also his hood felt a little heavier

i had a vis hood on my old car, it fit perfectly and held up really nice. weave was flawless

Check out some Carbon Creations. I hear they have pretty good products, Me personaly never dealt with any carbon products. Gl on your search tho.

seibon all the way

Ive heard bad things about Vis (clear coat related mainly) I would personally spend alittle more and do a seibon. Fiber Images and Carbon Creations are another option if you want to spend the money.

ive had experiences with vis, seibon, and fiber images, and i think that vis was the best of the 3. the fiber images and the vis had the best fitment, but the vis clear coat didnt fade at all (after 2 years). if i was to get another cf hood/trunk/etc, id have to go with vis.

VIS//SEIBON FTW!!

Just take care of it as you would paint...wax it...don't leave it in sun for months...etc...and it should be FINE!!

i left mine in the sun for over a year and there were zero signs of fading. id definately recommend using a synthetic wax like eagle one nano wax, or even some meguiars marine fiberglass glaze
