I bought that hood and it didn't fit at all. Everything in the world was hitting. It was about 3 inches shy of closing.

Basically,

1. it was part of the car molding (metal hup), the passenger's side up by the hinges.

2. the ac lines

3. my strut bar

4. my ecu


the picture below shows where it hit.. this is an old pic, before my turbo was installed. i dont think the hood would have fit after the turbo. btw.. look out for those hoods if your car is an everyday driver, your engine compartment will rust big time.

Here's one that should fit. I think that they have some reps that you can call before you buy it, plus it's like a $100 cheaper than the one on asylums.

Are you sure the engine compartment will rust because i have a friend with a civic that has slices in the hood like that and we poored a bucket of water over it and not one drop touched anything.. i thought they were designed not to mess anything up??
 
I also thought that they were designed to make sure nothing could hurt your engine or anything in the engine bay.

I prefer the carbon fiber.
It says it will not fit a TURBO. THe guy said it was goin on a RS, so it should fit.
