I've heard bad things about the hiktador trunk too. Do not want.

Also, I agree with everyone else that your car looks a lot better with OEM hood.

 

Thanks for the nice words, Rob, and I agree with you. I do love the HD hood, I just wish HD would put out a better product. Top of that, it doesn't seem like a lot of members are informed about how crappy their fiberglass really is. I can post pictures of how my hood bends as a request, if anyone wants to see it.

Yea, the trunk is the same way as well. My friend has the trunk and you can really see it ripple when the 12's start to hit in the back. It is terrible.

ChargeSpeed rear. I wanted the Strafe one with the vents. There was a member from Dallas selling one and I wanted to pick it up, but he sold it before I could hop onto the deal. So I just settled for the ChargeSpeed. I'll really look like everyone else on the forum now, but I don't care. It is my car.

I knew your Romanian a$$ would chime in eventually.

 

please do! i had never heard bad things about their glass. the only thing that worried me was the fg rippling. i saw 2 in person and they were terrible. back when i wanted one, i was going to order the cf just b/c i figured it would be of better quality.

 

As requested. Here they are. I will go onto say that I am not discouraging others from buying HD products. If you don't care about the quality, feel free to buy. I'm sure it will not stop others from purchasing. I just feel that others need to be informed about what their products really are. Don't get me wrong, I still love my HD hood. I just don't love the quality. I also cannot speak for their CF parts though. I have no experience with their CF parts.

I will also add that I do not know a whole lot about molds or how the resin is supposed to be laid. But I've delt with other fiberglass pieces before and NONE of them bent like this. My 05 Civic's body kit was more durable then this.

oha wow! thanks, son.

 

Wow . . . that's all bad, kon! It's a shame that Hiccup Dori didn't make a higher quality, better fitting product, because they sure got it right with the designs. But by not getting their products to have proper fitment or even be sturdy, it renders the (good) looks, pointless.

 

you should run no hood for MAX airflow!

 

Damn that ish looks weaksauce I think my TS hood is a lot sturdier. Maybe you should do a trade~

 

 

LOOOOL @ the HD hood bending with finger pressure!

That blows. Sorry, Son.

 

damn i didnt know it was that bad quality, and you running without hoodpins! thats living life on the edge, hope that *ish dont fly off!!

 

Yeah man get rid of that crap.. It could break apart and fly off doing god knows what to god knows who..

 

Believe me, I've thought about that. I'm gonna hang onto it, make it more durable and stronger then what it originally was. Going to probably paint it a bit different too and do some other things to it. Essentially make it more of something that suits my needs and my tastes.

When that happens, the hood will probably just go on if I go to meets or shows and stuff like that. I'll rock my OEM hood as a daily thing.

 

Good idea!!

 

Yea, I've been concerned about that as well. It always sat in the back of my mind.

Don't get me started, Kevin. It is frustrating. But it's all good though. I'm just glad I didn't pay the $900 that HD was offering to me, unshipped when it was Kris and Veronica selling the stuff.

Patman is lucky that he doesn't daily his car. Originally, he had told me about the quality of it but had stated that it doesn't bother him since he doesn't drive his car every day.

I don't have that luxury.

Hah, I love your nicknames for the company, Rob. And I agree with you 100%. It may look good, but the quality is not there. This is definitely not a product that falls into the category of, "you get what you pay for."

Your TS / Seibon hood is a lot more durable. My friend Kevin has the TS / Seibon hood and that thing is sturdy as hell.

Good idea! I'll do that to keep my custom VQ cool.
