this morning went to get my headers done at a shop that install performance... im happy that im getting installed then 3 hours past by i get no word on my car, im like wtf is going on here... then the owner comes up too me and said " we have a problem" im like FUDGE , then he tells me " the dude badly damaged my hood to a point where i have to repace it..."
-- long story short he decided to give me an option either keep my car for a couple of days and call honda for a honda fit hood ( brand new) or get a Carbon Fiber hood ( brand new on them) on my car...
-- i went with the carbon fiber OEM hood... and they will install it for free either monday or friday...

 

shit man... that sux... but hey those carbon hoods r mad expensive.... so you kinda came out on top.... i know it sux they ****ed your car up... but they did make it up to you real well... they could have just replaced it with an original

 

if you wanted an OEM hood would they have paid for that too? and also, is an OEM hood or a CF hood more expensive?

 

my car got hit a while ago, so i did a little research on parts, the oem hood from honda is about $250, the CF hood is about $400, both unpainted.

 

Wow - nice mess up! I wish I had a CF hood... Don't have to worry about the hood rusting from dings.

 

So..... how was the hood damaged? Did they leave the OEM header on the intake mani cover and shut the hood? I dont understand?

 

your gonna have someone else install a header? its easy should have done it yourself, and do the hood urself too, especially if they are charging you its like 4 bolts

 

that's what i wanna know too. I mean the hood has nothing 2 do w/ the headers lol. Maybe they lifted the car on a lift and the hood was open and struck something on the roof?

 

Wow, so your getting the CF hood for free?

 

Talk about a happy ending!!!
You are so lucky to be getting a cf hood!!

 

they put my car on the lifter with my hood open... they lift my car up then BAMMM there goes my hood

 

yeah dude... im going back to the place monday

 

thats exactly what happen lol...

 

they only charged me like 100$ for the install plus the new hood for free... i dont think stuff like that happen everyday

 

sweet deal!!!

lucky sob! haha

dont forget about us. show some pics gangsta

 

They lifted the car that high? Unless the roof/lift top is that low.... The hood barely goes past the roof line.

Awesome on the new hood. Make sure they dont screw that up.
Check for cracks and big scratches, even those its free.

 

w00t w00t i was right!

That's cool ur gettin a free CF hood. If possible, get a name brand like seibon (love my seibon!!) or VIS.

 

Thats a awesome deal!!!!

 

thanx everyone ill def post pictures as soon as i put the hood on and with the headers too

 

You are so lucky and I am so jealous.
Cant wait for the pics.
