no i dont need it right now. im just an impatient bastard, thats all. i'v been looking all over the net and all i find are hundreds of cb hoods for civics and integ's with all these vents and other crap. all i want is a stock looking fiberglass hood. it's not so easy to find some for our fc's. maybe i should go get a civic.

OK www.fc3s.org was making lower cost fiberglass NA & TII hoods. Check with them because I don't see them listed on their "merged" online speedmachineperformance.com store.

Alright I called fc3s.org and yes, they dropped the cheaper fiberglass hoods cause nobody ordered them... we all wanted C/F instead. I think their only making the TII hood now.

oh its definitely stronger. most people get cf hoods to show it off. but i want my car to look stock. i was gonna paint over it anyways. its more $ for a carbon hood. another reason that i wanted to get it is because one of my freinds at school told me that the cf is stronger but also heavier. the fibers in cf also tends to split.
