    Are you buying that to put on a Civic? Because, it sure doesn't belong on a truck.

    how does this go on the hood? pop on or do you have to glue it on?
    is it a whole hood or just the scoop i couldnt tell from the pictures and didnt have time to read the whole thing.

    ^Yeah, I don't think it would look bad on a black truck but any other color, might as well just put a bowl of rice on it instead.

    Then again there are a lot of mall crawlers out there.

    robrjohnson's sig gave me a thought: If you buy carbon fiber, will you need to buy a carbon offset? Don't want to contribute to "global warming" (even though it's cooler), you know.

    Not sure why everyone dogs on carbon fiber. Just paint it like you're supposed to. Its the same thing as the guys that buy a Harwood hood and leave it black because it almost matches their car. If you don't paint the carbon fiber it will most likely have issues later one w/ cracking or yellowing because of the quality of work(not the nature of the material).

    ^If it were painted, I wouldn't have a problem with it. However, there are too many Civics running around out there with them unpainted and now there's a stigma attached to it.

    That hood looks mint! I wonder how much lighter it is compared to the stock hood? I've just added another mod to my long list, haha.
