Well, some assholes decided to do some drawing on my hood...its scratched pretty good..

Now, i guess i need to start looking for a new hood. I'm thinking about getting a carbon fiber hood. I was wondering about quality and fitment. Do i need to shave the sides to make them fit? or just plane and simple bolt on? Are they strong against weather? Any cracking? Do i need to do some clear-coating on it? And the most important, where to get one? like brands, price and stuff.

I've seen many people talking about VIS. Any other cool place that fits and quality being good??? please let me know...

Insurance claims are great for stuff like that...shuwa paid ten bucks for his hood, I think it's a VIS, he could tell ya

97 Eclipse GS
Mods: AEM CAI, OBX muffler, Goldline springs, FU/RU STBs, Platinum plugs, Ingalls rear camber kit, AFX UDP

my deductible is $500. So i thought just buying one would be cheaper than reporting it to them

Sorry to hear about your hood. When I hit a deer insurance money paid for my VIS hood. It's normally 500 plus shipping but I paid 500 so try not to spend more then that. VIS has best fitment but I would still get hood pins just to be safe even though Im to lazy to get them. Good luck.

sorry off topic,

MmmDeion, how did you do that with your plate? Is that legal in R.I.? I want to do that now too but I don't think it is legal in MA.

Im pretty sure its legal, ive been pulled over plenty of times and all the officer said was "at least u have ure front license plate on"... I just twisty tied it to the radiator hoses on the front of our cars and rested it there, looks a lot better than stickin off the front of our bumpers.. (Oh, sorry to steel your thread, just a quick post)...
