CF hoods

what do you guys think of them? ive done all the basic upgrades, visual and perf. wise, and think this might be next. anybody have any links to sites that sell them perhaps a little cheaper than all the rest?

theyre highly attractive...just like with mine i get many peoples attention..i bought mine from sportcompactonly and it came out to 600 something dollars...you can buy off ebay but i dont trust ebay on this department

i think they look pretty cool.  i want to get a vented CF hood for my M3, but its like 1400 or so, plus paint.  i dont want it that bad.

i just painted mine...more sleepy. keeps the engine bay slightly cooler.

I want an evo one for my Accord.
 
The thing ive been reading though, is that most CF hood manufactorors recommend putting in hood pins so the latch wont break.
The guy who uns my car club and has a sponsored eclipse was up on his way to HIN chicago or st louis and he was getting off a ramp and the hood latch came undone and broke the windshield and ruined the hood.

try to add this...-->honda accord rear valance..

i got the evo hood and no hood pins and i know it will not fly off cuz its very secure when i close it with the OEM latch..i agree these hoods do keep the engine bay cooler  so thats a plus

will the 98 2dr hood fit the 4dr?

Sorry to go off topic.  But with the evo hoods and such, where there is mesh grill is that a real scoop or fake?  If its real doesnt water pour in when it rains and could damage the engine?

its semi real meaning, it has a layer of some kind of fiber under the mesh but its thin so water drips off around this layer of fiber...it does no damage to the engine because the water is minimal...i go thru automatic car washes every week so i would know
