Pic request Black lude with CF hood - Honda Prelude Forum

Imported204 · 06-07-2004, 08:43 PM

I`m debating weather or not to order a CF hood for my black lude, anyone have any pics to help me decide?

LudeBoi121 · 06-07-2004, 09:15 PM

i do but i'll take some tomorrow since the weather looks kinda gloomy today...

Here is a pic. I will try to get one that shows the hood better tomorrow. Can't even tell that it's a CF hood in that picture but it gives you an idea.

do any of you people with a black lude and a CF hood regret getting the hood? i'm debating on this too like Imported204, and i'm torn between the clean shiny look of the stock black hood and the weave and weight savings of the CF hood.

nope, dont regret it a bit, love the look of the hood, weight really isnt anything special, its not like its an hp improving mod anyway, ya know....

There you go.

im guessing you arranged your wheels like that on purpose?

One Slow Lude · 06-08-2004, 02:23 PM

the CF hood doesnt add HP..... no....but it helps the HP\weight ratio

TooFastForYa · 06-08-2004, 08:28 PM

Yeah I know they are all on backwards. They are like that because the tires are directional and came mounted backwards when I got it. My rims are going on it as soon as the car passes inspection so I'm not worried about it.

I think im probably gonna go with a CF hood. I`m not really worried about weight savings, i just want a high quality hood that will fight right w/o hood pins. Any suggestions?

VIS would be the way to go, but I think the OEM versions are on backorder right now?

you can still paint the CF hood rite?

TooFastForYa · 06-09-2004, 02:15 AM

Yep, it can be painted.

yea, but i haven't heard of anyone with a black lude painting their CF hood. i've been thinking about that myself, but it just seems like such a waste of money? if anyone has ever done it, pics would be great

the1Luder · 06-09-2004, 05:52 AM

i did some photochopping to see how a CF hood partly painted black would look like. i used OvaDaLimiT's picture and i'll take it off if you mind. but here it is...it was the best i could do

Personally, I think hood pins take away from a CF hood. I wouldn't get them if I were you.

i think it's more of a safety issue. i hate it everytime i drive on the highway and it flaps around.

JayZ98 · 06-10-2004, 06:22 PM

^^ Yeah that is the reason why I got moroso pins for my hood! I got so nervious when I am even going 70!

I dont like the big pins so I got these.

That fitmet is great godfather16! Is that a FI?
