Carbon fiber hood options

Hey I'm thinking about getting a CF hood. I crashed my zenki http://www.club240.com/forums/showth...threadid=33399 and I'm getting parts to fix it. I'm thinking of getting a CF hood since a new one from nissan is 419 dollars... plus painting. here are a couple I found online http://www.slickcar.com/productdetai...ProductID=3570

Does any one have any experience with these companies? Or know what brand these really are? Any advice would be appreciated.

You could go D-Drug. Can also get that with sparkles

Seriously though I've always heard good of D-Drug. Sorry I don't know more about CF hoods...

If you get try and get the sparkle hood expect to pony up some ca$h and wait 6-10 months. True ballers only, less then 5 in the world are made so far. They do make a damn fine reg hood though.

Tell them I sent you and they should treat you right :P

Fiberimage makes one of the most durable hoods i've ever seen. My friend had a FiberImage hood on his prelude and when he crashed his front end the only thing that was in shape was the hood.


i'll ask him where he got his hood from.

Seibon for the win.

ViS is, like Ayu said, hit or miss on quality and fitment. When you order CALL THEM and make sure its a high quality hood. They have a few piles of them and tend to just try and slip them by.
