i dont think you wanna buy a carbon fiber hood anytime soon... there is a shortage of carbon fiber due to the military using it for their planes n' such...

ur ranging about 450-850...

depending if you want it double sided or not...

be careful if you do buy one... make sure it isnt a cheap @$$ one.,..

I can't count how many integras, civics, rsxs, crxs... etc.... I see with CF hoods... and that's my biggest motivation against them.

Hey, folks, quit bagging on the JDM look. There's no such thing as a JDM tC but there is such a thing as a JDM "look."

The tC itself has a European "look" to it but it's Japanese made. Go figure.

Most carbon fiber hoods on the market for the tC are only carbon on top and backed with fiberglass. If you were buying a carbon fiber hood only for weight reduction you'd be better off with a fiberglass hood.

I really like the look of carbon fiber and use it alot on my car. We have had issues with inventory of tC hoods though b/c they sell out so fast.

We are now manufacturing a tC hood here in the USA so our backorders have been cut to a maximum of 8 business days for a Grade A hood w/ rolled edges, OEM style latch, and PPG UV Protection. Price on this hood is $540 shipped to a business w/in the lower 48 states.
