They do make it for the Eclipse:

I don't know about the tint though. But I've also heard that they are truly "for show only" since the hood doesn't deal with heat too well.

You could just use regular window tint.

Meaning you can not drive with it!

There was an eclipse at the Carlisle show this past weekend with a clear hood:thumbsup

I don't know if its me or not, but I like these hoods, you can show off what you have, and not have to pop open the hood..

I've seen a civic last year with it, it was sweet.. it had it semi open, and had a fog machine.. had a cool effect..

I don't know what you guys are smoking :-) .. go through any JC Whitney catalog, and you will see them showing the hood on a 2G..

I would like to see how long a nicely done engine lasts in a public parking lot w/ a clear hood.

HEY, Look at my nice expensive turbo kit...

just wondering..is it worth all that money just to have a clear hood on a show? I dont think so..better to get other parts and just lift the hood on the show...dang...:-(
