DG Motorsports Hood *PICS*
 
Hey everybody, I just got back from DG Motorsports in Oceanside, CA. First off, they had the best customer service! Everyone I talked to was nice and very willing to answer my questions from when I called to when I showed up. The quality of the hood is pretty amazing, the weave of the carbon fiber looks much nicer than the Fiber Images hood and is on par with JDM Spoon hoods. The underside of the hood is fully finished and looks as beautiful as the top and the edges are smooth, rounded and align perfectly with the fenders. Truly this hood fits as perfect as stock. I can get you guys some closeups of the weave and underside if you'd like, just ask. And no, I don't work for or am affiliated with DG Motorsports in any way, I'm just extremely happy with their product ans service. Check out www.DGmotorsports.com for more info.

That looks sweet! Probably way outta my price range though. Oh well...when my hood gets destroyed from rock chips, maybe I'll look into one of those :D

I like the way it matches your wheels!!! Nice contrast with the paint too. Normally I dont go for the different colored hood thing but I can honestly say it looks good on yours!!!

Hey thanks mito7878, I was never really big on the different colored hood thing either but I liked the way they matched the wheels, plus I plan on getting a carbon fiber wing too so it'll all come together eventually, I just need more money! =) The hood retails for $795 but they are running a special on it right now.

Yeah I think the wing would bring it all together. The main reason I never liked the different colored hoods was that a buddy of mine had a white accord with chome wheels and a carbon fiber hood. YUK!!!!

A dark car is a must. Good price though.

Section 8,

I would get the clear side markers. That would clean up the side better. Just a thought.

sweet ride...what type of wheels are those?...I think the carbon fiber rear view mirrors would look good with all your other carbon fiber products you want to get...just a though:D

Looks really awesome.

Saving for the one with the intake myself.

mito7878 June-10th-2002 05:38 PM

So how much was the wing?

I meant the CF wing Section 8 was going to buy next.

Kincaid June-10th-2002 09:06 PM

oh hehheh. Didn't see his after-post. My mistake.

I'm going to pick up the STI wing made for the Subaru Impreza for my car when i get a bit more cash...it costs about $1700 :eek: so it'll take me a little while to be able to justify that much money for it..plus I have to get the holes in my trunk filled from the stock MP3 wing. Oh well...you're only young once right? Here's some pics...

Yup, your only young once but your broke for many life times!!!!

arl240 June-11th-2002 12:17 PM

$1700, yeowch!:eek: With that kind of money, you could actually increase the performance enough on your car to warrant an aerofoil spoiler. I hope that thing is speed adjustable at least....but I guess I ain't buying it so it don't matter.
