So I thought that since my hood release cable was busted, I could solve the problem with getting a CF hood with pins off a local guy and not worry about the cable until summer and I'm making money again. I'd just disconnect the cable from the latch. Sounds okay...
WRONG! The cable is trashed and the latch is now totally gone! So I will be ordering a new cable and latch tomorrow at honda.
Heres the Hood, teaser pictures for now:
VIS CF Hood with Sparco Pins
My front bumper needs paint, its all chipped to hell!
The guys was really cool, I saw it on Honda-tech and he knew me because he installed my brakes this winter when honda fixed my car after my little accident on the interstate when my tire when BOOM! So I met up with him this afternoon, said I wanted it after looking it over. He asked where I lived and if I had basic tools, since he knew I was in college and in an APT building. He came over, pulled his hood, helpped me pull mine then help me install the CF hood!
I will never buy anything from VIS after my trunk, but since this is used and in good condition, what I thought was a great price, it was okay. Since I didnt give VIS any additional sales or revenue, I just helpped out a fellow autocrosser, it was justified in my mind.
