The problem seems to be that integra folks are a bunch of 1) Broke kids or 2) Cheap adults.

So are the readily available now? What I mean is are the in stock ready to ship, or is there a wait period for each hood?

Just curious, How long do you think you will be producing and selling this batch of hoods? My header panel is starting to crack and I'd like to get a fiberglass hood yet I wont have any free money for the next month or so



It is not a batch we are making. They are being made to order. We should be offering them over the long term.

Haha, technically no money is free...yes?

^ I'm interested and also in Melbourne. What are you going to do about your lights?


Oh the lights, yeah well I decided to get lucky and find another complete, registered ZC powered rust free 1987 CRX 1st GEN for $1000.00 with the correct headlights, so I also have the original car for spares now too! Oh and the new one has NO SUNROOOF thank god!!!



While I was at it, I decided to get some license plates too, just to finish it off.



Now about that hood...............I think we need to place an order!

Marcus, since these hoods are being made by a new maker, can you post pictures.

Eh, maybe a stupid question, but is a short OR long (FG) ZC style hood the same price?? If not, what are the differences in pricing?

Question about heat and carbon fiber hoods; The CF hood would be used on a turbo CRX. It is a bottom-mounted turbo, but the waste gate and waste gate plumbing stick up higher than the standard exhaust manifold. So, there would be higher temperatures near the hood. I would be using some sort of heat deflector on the underside of whatever hood was used (metal of CF). How does carbon fiber stand up to heat compared to a metal hood? (I'm thinking of using the CF short ZC hood with the turbo.)

Anyone currently using a CF hood on a turbo CRX???

Questions questions:


RARECRX: Yes they are. We need a couple weeks per hood for manufacturing.

shahriar: We don't have any pics of these, but they are going to be the same as the others we had made.

weights: we don't have that either, but I'd figure about 10-13 lbs since thats what the other ones were (for CF, add a few pounds for FG)

flashmatrix: in the first post there is a link to our site with the pricing on all the hoods

myheadhertz: if you paint is not bubbling off your metal hood then the cf or fg are just fine. A turbo does not add all that much heat over a conventional setup. I had one on my turbo crx with no issues.

how many layers? wet/dry layup?

very pretty....i smacked my old one into an altima. it got folded up a bit, but actually popped back into place. i got some new hood pins and it was fine....ish. Either I'll repair it or upgrade to the ZC.

I've run into this at work - quantifying heat damage to the epoxy that binds cf (or fg) parts is a real pain. The fibers themselves can take a bunch of heat, but epoxy is trickier than metals to evaluate. Aircraft designers love to use the stuff, but when your jet has an engine bay fire - "D'oh!"

Anyway, for a CRX with one of Marcus's nice hoods, an easy go/no-go is looking at the paint as he mentions. If your current metal hood doesn't have seriously browned or discolored paint underneath near the turbo, you're fine. A high enough temperature to char the epoxy would affect the paint on a metal hood as well.

This is something to watch out for if you ever have a "minor" underhood fire. A steel hood could possibly be cleaned and repainted, but a cf or fg hood may well be toast - fibers held together with charcoal.

1 layer top I think. CF hoods have a FG frame.

Wet dry....is this even a question on a $375 hood? Wet.
