hay i was wondering how hard it is to install a carbon fiber hood on a 4dr acura integra 96 and where the best place to get one is.
integsr

 

um. dude. its 4 fuckin bolts. :a:

second, this is the civic forum. you're posting about an integra, and this thread really should be in the appearance forum anyway.

VIS makes good hoods.

 

it can be pretty tough, theres issues like lefty loosey righty tighty and which way is the front of the car, but you should be able to do it with a factory service manual and haynes manual.

good luck!

 

you might need a wrench

 

Its not too bad, but I'd get someone to help hold the hood in place while you tighten the bolts...it makes it a little easier.

 

why are people so scared of anything to do with DIY? me an my 105 pound wife put my VIS hood on. i got it off ebay, $500 shipped. when and if you get one and put it on youll feel like a lamer for asking for help. 1 being easy, 10 being difficult, id say i might give this a 2, but im leaning more toward a 1...

 

easiest bolt on ever takes 10 mins to do

 

also do you have to have hood pins because ive heard from some people their nessasary and some that there not.

 

Hoodpins aren't necessary, but they're a nice if you're going to be taking it to the track or on the interstate a lot.

 

I have a 2000 Integra LS (2 Door) and just recently got a ViS hood. Like everybody is saying, it's 4 bolts & super easy. I don't use the hood pins, and I do a lot of driving, interstate included...so it's not really neccessary.
