i have one of the CF hoods from ebay.

they are very flimsy, but they are really light.

DO NOT GET THE WEAPON R COILOVERS... i know 2 people very well that had them, one on a 99-00 i forgot which year, civic SI, and a del sol. they both rid of them, i dont care how much u get them for. i had VIS coilovers Spec II, which i think are way better than Weapon R, many show cars had them, and they sucked. i got rid of them, they blew my shocks in like several months, than again i was dropped the full 4'. but still, bad spring rate, if u go with any fake me out coilovers, get the GroundControl. u pay like 100-160 more(ur paying $150?) more for some much nicer coilovers, i believe they use eibach springs. u will hate ur weapon R's if ur like me, and thats $150 down the hole.

Yep...you can definitely see light coming through it. Looks like those sticker carbon fiber w/ clear coat over.... I got a vented one and it's scary not having hood pins... I had to use black tape to keep it from shaking so much at high speed... Also don't get those hood pins from Ebay... Those are soooo cheap and break easily... So does anyone know where I can find some real METAL ones?
