Default cf hoods and other random crap

first of all, what are good C/F hood brands? I know ViS, but I was wondering my other options, and if anyone knew of any good deals for a hood (particularly ViS, although I talked to a local shop and they were saying ViS sends out some bad ones I thought they were a good brand, and was planing on going with them).... So far, the best I could find was $440 shipped

Also, I'm looking at headlamps, and all I can find are SiR lights on Passwordjdm.... I saw inline4 selling ctr's, but for $500.... Anyone know of a better price? Passwordjdm didn't have any on their site.... I'm shooting for $400 tops....

thanks... I'd look myself, but I have too much going on right now h:

btw, yes, this means my car's getting fixed :yay:

ViS can be found for as cheap as $350, but shipping is what kills it. Other brand I'd consider is Fiber Images.

Definitely the CTR headlights.

I had a fiberimages years ago, fit was good and I was happy. Only issue I had was there were no holes for the windshield washers. Probably doesn't matter to most but bothered me.

CTR headlights are nice. I still have my stock bulbs in mine but everybody flashes me thinking I'm highbeaming them but I'm not. I paid around $500 for mine but I have no complaints.

Bodykits NW for carbon fiber products all the way. Andy (owner) is the man, awesome guy, awesome customer service, awesome product. I cant say enough good things about the cf hoods of bodykits nw, every single one Ive seen has been of top notch quality, run a search on honda-tech to get a good idea of how satisfied people are with them. They are $410 shipped to a business I beleive. On HT you can PM BodyKits NW for a quote, or send them an email.

well, considering I had ctr's, I dunno why I'd downgrade

One of my friends who lives in Georgia has one, and in a year and half his has not faded at all. They come UV protected, but you can pay an extra $50 and get an extra coat of a special clear coat with another, stronger type of UV protection in it.
