I know for us with 92-95 civics have the issue of a crinkling hood from just shutting it and driving it around. Thus my hood has some wrinkles in it from just that alone. I was just checking to see if after 96 or more precisely in 2000 is the Civic's hood has been better designed to not wrinkle like the past hoods have been known to.

Thanks!

 

im not sure i understand what you are referring to as crinkling. my stock 93 hood looks fine and its the oem hood til i switch it out for a cf unit.

 

i've seen some that are really flimsy but none that crinkle

 

Well a few of the civics people i know drive (including my own) have a slight warp or a kind of smooth wrinkle in the hood of their 92-95 civics. I'm not saying it happens alot i've just seen it alot around here.

A guy at a shop told me they are flimsy and just from driving it on the highway and daily the hood can become a bit bumpy, and they say a fiberglass or other material hood is the easiest way to dal with it.

But i guess i'll just worry about it when i get the car, thanks!
