So after 4 long months my hood is finally in.

I don't know though, might be too much carbon
that good old VIS 2 evo hood, only imperfection is this side has more of a gap than the other side, (the seam between the hood and fender)

Gotta replace those M3 mirrors with the carbon fiber slr ones soon

Looks like fish skin/scales, lol

My 1st 2000si, the one I did the boosted b16b swap in was the electron blue but this one originally it was the Si black, but I had it painted what I call midnight blue which was just black with blue pearl so when the light hits it it looks blue. But it's gonna be painted back black again with a lil something on the rocker panels which I won't tell now, rather not start the flame fest until it's done

the only bad thing is the wiper blades.

how does the carbon fiber match up? i know different companies look different.

you're a hooker.

nice e5 hood on your civic!

this is what it looks like on a real car, though.

Cashizslick · 07-12-2007, 09:22 AM

Chris, where do those scoops lead to??

TurboMirage · 07-12-2007, 09:28 AM

well the middle vents are to vent air out of the engine bay. the scoop on the side is for the air cleaner - which on a stock EVO the air cleaner is located right behind the scoop.

on my car the filter is on the opposite side lol

Cashizslick · 07-12-2007, 09:42 AM

ahh... i thought they may have been scoops that lead to no-where lol

The blades are coming off to, lol going back to a sort of stock blade that I came across on ClearPlus Windshield Products
Suprisingly they match up well, I was thinking the same thing as I was taking the hood out of the box. Erebuni, VIS, the weaves are gonna be off, but nope.

How is the quality of the erebuni carbon fenders? I had a vis hood on my mirage and was not to satisfied on the quality or customer service.
