    Question Carbon Fiber *Hoods* Anyone!?? . . .

    Hello,

    So who wants a Carbon Fiber hood!?


    I wanted to share that I just found 2 supposedly types of Carbon Fiber Hoods for 2012 Civic Coupe Owners. From Advan Carbon Technology. Below are the links to each different hood. The website was a pain in the butt! I made it easy, You Welcome! Lol

    1. OEM Style 2012-2015 Honda Civic Coupe Carbon. Price $599

    Advan Carbon - The leading retailer of quality carbon fiber body kits, car body kits, rear spoilers.

    2. Advan Carbon MGN Design 2012-2015 Honda Civic Coupe Carbon Fiber Hood. Price $799 (This is the hood on the Fox Marketing Civic!)

    Advan Carbon - The leading retailer of quality carbon fiber body kits, car body kits, rear spoilers.

    I have a Sedan so I'm still waiting. But I wanted to share for all you fine ladies and gentlemen.

    Yea it does look good!

    How do you guys think it would look on a red coupe though? I like the hood but would it look ricey on RR? On that member's car it blends in really cool with the PMM, but would the contrast of red and the CF be too much?

    Personally, Red and Black looks awesome and aggressive to me.

    I don't know. But I doubt most cops know the difference or even care. It's just a hood with slits. Although I think it requires hood pins. Maybe that's why?

    You really should pin any carbon fiber hood for safety reasons. They can be a bit floppy and have ripped loose at speed before. If you have ever had a hood flip open while driving you will agree with this opinion.
