Paint on CF hoods doesnt always come out as smooth as a metal based hood. Ask Adicted2B00st about it on his probe. I like it the way it is or paint some of it and leave the CF show else where. And what are you talking about the hood everyone has? I have never seen a Z24 of that gen modded in the first place. ---

I have never seen a Z24 of that gen modded in the first place. there aren’t any modded Z’s of my gen around here besides me really. but the last time i was at NYI there were 5 other cars with this **style** hood. 2 civics, a prelude and 2 other cars. i think a del sol and something else. it was kind of embarassing. ---

Well sorry to inform you but the reverse vent or heat extractor hood is available for almost every car. Same as every other hood out there thats aftermarket. But i can understand wanting to be different…but isnt it enough you have the only modded cavy of that gen around? ---

paint the outside and leave the scoop part carbonfiber, for a little contrast. I also think you should put some kind of grill behind the body kit in the front.
