    carbon fiber hoods and JDM headlights

    does anyone know where to get a carbon fiber hood for the 1st gen Protege? i've heard some rambles about how they exsist for the 323GTR rally cars and such. It would be more for looks, but a little weight off the front-end could help the 2330lbs weight of my car.

    Also, the pics of the 323s from other places in the world have the glass headlights and I'd like to get a set.

      yeah i've heard someone here has a cf hood too... he must be some ricer...

      as far as especs, there's a group buy going on right here: http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/show...=&threadid=983

      As far as the carbon fiber hood goes... 2330lbs is insanely light and unless you have all of your go fast stuff done, I'd go there if you're looking for improved performance first.

                  And drove a rod through his block.

                            The picture might be right there, but you can't even tell that it's Carbon Fiber from that angle.........It could just be painted black, hell could just be the lighting giving it a darker appeance on the hood.

                            So how did the Hood finally come along??
