Hey, back on subject. Anyone know if the VIS cf hood is a good one? The company has mostly positive feedback with some gripes with long shipping times due to backordering and not informing the customers about it.
you're funny how much does a stock hood aproximately weight and a CF hood weigh? what's the benefits besides having a lighter hood.
From what I've heard, a lighter hood gives you the weight reduction, which makes your gear ratios on your transmission better. Not sure how accurate that is..

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

i sure do hope you were kidding.
lighter cars go faster, turn faster, use less petrol, less tyrewear, less brake wear... its impossible to describe what weight reduction can do to a car.
