B14 CF hood (please read)

martin_g34 · Mar 4th, 2003, 01:14 PM

OK guys this is the real thing. Stoopid parts WILL be making a full CF hood for the B14 and I need to give them some constructive feedback on what it is that most B14 owners want. The hood will have a reverse scoop just like the one on the link below. I'm telling them to shorten up the holes so it doesn't look so aggresive. But the hood will be similar to the B15 hood in the link. Any comments or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

No pre-drilled squirter holes.
A good/strong latch.
Quality weave.

The only issue I have with the Fiber Images hood that I have is the latch is not that strong. Thank god for hood pins.

Thanks guys, keep the suggestions coming.

Wow, that hood is awesome! Your car looks great too. I think making the scoop smaller and less agressive is a good idea too, otherwise it would just look silly. And a proper latch, not some cheap one that won't last, like I've seen on some Hondas.

id suggest the "scoop" part should be less curvy on the B14 since the B15 has more curves. just styling issues.

even that style looks a bit too agressive for a b14... (well, the b14's w/out body kits of course)

any chance of a hood with a scoop on it for TMIC?
