Kastigir Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Get used to it. That's what you're going to pay for a quality CF hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidburn Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Like the civic. Mine is an 08, silver. As far as the hood goes, for quality you are going to pay a good bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrIaN EG2 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 but if you ask me before getting a cf hood, i would do the usual suspension, i/h/e, and wheels.. then go for the CF hood.. but thats if i was in your shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonball6789 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 i don't really like the look of tow hooks and its seems like a waste of money. im looking a some wheels on tire rack right now. i live in ny and it seems anything i ever buy for my car comes from cali. i don't want to lower my car but i would like to stiffin up the suspension. since the si already has a good suspension from the factory not really sure if i sould replace or just add on suspension parts what u think?
