i would do it now but I have Starparts and DealerConnect on my computer but I cant put Reynolds and Reynolds on my home computer.

I can get a general idea from DealerConnect but I'll deff check that out when I get to work tomorrow

I work in the parts department at Chysler/Dodge/Jeep and to buy a primered OEM replacement CF hood for a 1997 Dodge Viper is $20,571.20 plus tax (which here in Maryland is 5% so the total with tax would be $21,599.76) and that doesnt even come painted!!!
yeah, but that hood is HUGE. its the fenders and everything. thats why the new one isnt like that, to cut costs.

I wonder how much a CF body would be for a Civic with doors and lids?

Do they make fiberglass hoods for civics? If so, why not get one and paint it if your going to paint a cf one?

because fiberglass is heavier and less durable, hence it's much cheaper
