Clear plexi hood 88-91 civic

[STDHatchback91]

Has anyone seen these hoods. They look tight. Anyone know of fitment, quality etc.? Are they heavy? I'd love to show off my bay after the swap.

i dont like the clear hoods personally. they look better in pictures when i saw one at the car show it was ugly

it'll only like nice.. only when everything... and i mean everything is all changed up... even things like chromed caps:rolleyes:
other than that... if it aint all show and go... then its useless getting one of those cuz you're just askin to get laughed at:eek: ::yes::

I question their use as a daily thing, show only. The ones i have seen are cool, yes, but don't seeem practical, plus because of their design, there is no bracing of any kind, GAURANTEED billowing at speed. nah. not fer me. cool if the bay is all that, but otherwise....no

Those things would be awful for a daily driven car not to mention they are just screaming... "HEY LOOK AT MY MOTOR, ITS AN EXPENSIVE SWAPED ONE, AND IM PROBABLY FAST... PLEASE STEAL ME!!!"

Screw that... Id rather get a CF hood.

yea, i wasn't talkin about as a daily driver, i should have mentioned that sorry, i'm gettin a fiberglass ZC hood for daily, but i was thinkin about the clear hood for show. I'm planning to have everything colored and polished after do my swap and a little cosmetic work. Thanks for the input tho.
Peace

you are speaking of te Showums clear hoods. they are also available in colors and neons. Indeed they are strictly for show use. They also provide you w/ a case for it when not in use...

I think they are cool if you have a clean and worhty engine it's hella good.


you can go to http://www.importfan.com/ and see them they are 699 there....

I can't find my other link w/ a more descriptive image and details..

I'll keep looking.....:)

Like everyone said, it would be cool for show only (only if you had an EXTREMELY nice engine bay too), but I wouldn't even think of using it on a daily basis.

well the company doesn;t recommend or suggest you drive w/ them..They are SHOW ONLY USE....

I mena if you were cruising on the strip somewhere for a show maybe drive w/ it but other then that NOT...

Its not so much about people going to steal your ride.. By looking at many pictures of it.. Most of the time the hood has a HUGE gap on the sides.. Meaning it doesnt lay down completely.. Air will build up and fling the hood into the air... ANd prolly kill someone
