Yeah it does... :lol:
That fridge on the front looks familiar... :mrgreen:
I don't know how much a CF hood would do in terms of steering responsiveness, turn-in, removing the aircon would do the same thing in terms of weight reduction.
Also at high speed you need to have hood pins just incase the thing flies open.
If you get a CF hood with a vent, temp reduction in the engine would be a good benefit esp with turbo cars.
Ok ok, its an old pic but i dont have any new ones at the moment, and yes that intercooler has found a new home in a nice civic coupe.
In which a gurl drives.... :shock:
You have to say the CF bonnet looks better on the white CRX :P

hehehe, another fridge!
I love those Buddyclub's... :oops:

Um, who gave you permission to post ACS material? that picture is copyrighted.
yeah, does look good, cause its my bonnet, lol.
For street puroses a CF hood is only good for looks unless u plan on drag and track thre's not much of a point in it
they cost roughly ard 800-1000, and main purpose as outlined b4 is weight reduction. But then again if you had 800-1000 your better off throwing the money into sum mods or suspension.
oh if anybody offers sumone a cheap price CF hood, i wouldn't take it as sed previously its just carbon fibre weave on top of a (i think) fibre glass hood. Plus it can be dangeroud due to the fact that it doen't have the crumple factor. Most likely break off from the hinges and fly into the cabin of the car.
I've heard stories where guys with CF hood's have been in accidents and the hood (due to being so stiff) had cut straight through the A-pillar and killed the passenger and driver.Quote:

They can be dangerous, if you get one, be aware of the risks!
That's why someone should produce aluminium bonnets like my cappa's hood.... even lighter :)
