@JDP, How much is shipping/handling to T5P4L4?
PM please
Thanks

 

has anyone installed the stock under-hood air duct on the JDP hood?

 

hmm.. don't know if I'm going to make it out to Cali this summer. I may just have to get robbed and have it shipped to me here I think I'll have to buy some more parts to compensate I have been wanting the Integra DA front duct spoiler for a long time. I wonder if it can be shipped with the hood?

 

be prepared to spread those butt cheeks wide. s/h to Canada is crazy.. if not the fed/ex duty/taxes ($120smth?) on top of the double s/h. if u know someone closeby stateside maybe ship to Washington state? otherwise when i was gettin g the hood installed the guys @ Garage 5 (.:: garage five performance tuning online - v0.99) said next time i buy anything frm a US seller that needs installation, let them know, they get US shipments and usually do trips back and forth stateside for pickup. just inquire within if u wanna save on some s/h & duty.

 

yeah but I'm on the island so G5 doesn't really help.Right now it's about $150 for a round trip ferry visit!!!

 

hmmm JDP not accepting PM's. I guess I'll have to call them. I have been really thinking about my hood lately!

 

How have these hoods been shipping lately? Any recent issues with damage in shipping? Would it be possible to have it packed better upon request? Be a couple more months before I call and order mine.

 

Shipping issues were sorted out a long time ago. You shouldn't have any worries.

 

Glad to hear, I want this so bad I've put other things on hold to get the funds in line for the hood hehe.

Are these pretty easy to install with a helping hand? I understand you have to drill some holes, are there indicator marks of where to, it's not a totally blind install and possible misalignment of the hood bracket?

 

So I suppose water can't just get into the vent when it's raining and drip all on the engine. Is there something in there that makes the water exit elsewhere, what does it look like on the underside

 

The engine is metal...aluminum mostly. It is a sealed mechanical structure (this is why oil doesn't squirt out of the sides of the motor while you're driving)....why would water dripping on the motor be expected to cause problems?

I don't understand why this is a recurring question?

Obviously you don't want water sucking into your intake...but (in my understanding) this is only a problem for people with CAI who drive through puddles.

I haven't heard of anybody who has bought a hood report water or weather related issues.

In regards to your second question, the bottom of the group buy hood looks like the bottom of the OEM hood except it has a vent in it.

 

I have mine, never installed it. Selling it now. Looks like the kids are going to get the Fit and I am going to move on to a truck or a sports car.

PM me if you are interested.
