It wouldn't work, like most modern cars, civics are unibody, which pretty much means the frame/body are one and the same. The frame/body built at the factory decides if the car is gonna have a sunroof or not.
What he could do is buy a civic DX/LX and then build it up, but that's a huge project. It's for weight reasons that people like to buy the cheapest civic HB and then put built motors in them.
Personally, I hate sunroofs, they're expensive, add like 50 lbs of weight, take up headroom, reduce chassis ridigity and sometimes leak when the car gets old.
To answer your question. no its not a carbon fiber hood.
Two things:
1) Carbon hood do very little in term of weight reduction.
2) They are somewhat gray/black in color.
3) Carbon hood cracks very easily.
I bought another hood for $100 and spent $120 to have it painted.
So it cost me almost as much if I got a carbon hood.
The thing is, my wheels are black, windows tinted black so I wanted to see what a black hood would look like, not gray/black color.
I was bored.....I still have the blue hood to put back.
You know I was about to take off the DECAL anyhow before I saw the other thread.

Hmmm... That's a good idea. Maybe I should get a decal that says "Subaru Station Wagon" for my '92.
I'd have to put it across the bottom of the windshield so I could see though.In answer to the original question, "Why do some people hate my white decal on the windshield ??" I don't know. I don't really know why you'd want it either. Why did you put it on?
I guess it depends on what you call very little in terms of weight reduction. I know for my car, I lose 30 pounds from the stock hood to a carbon fiber hood. In regards to them cracking easily... yeah if they were made crappy.
Wait, you paid to have your hood painted a different color?
My wheels are silver, but I didn't paint the hood silver. The silver wheels match the silver emblems and grille.
If you want black wheels, you could match by having black pearl emblems.
Well... most Honda drivers have the tendency to buy quality product thus cracking and whining about their $200 CF hood that is actually not CF at all. And what's stopping you from painting a real CF hood? You can do it if you want. Or you can continue to be a complete poseur and just have a CF weave-look painted onto the steel hood.
I noticed that most people tend to ignore SIs in my area mostly because there are so few REAL ones. Is yours even a real? Doesn't matter anywho... it's still pretty unremarkable car... 160hp YAY!!!
Indeed... rice is yummy in my tummy. See sig.
No idea, never gone to the track.
I didn't buy the car for the spped.
Its great on milage and resonabably quick.
I had intake and header and I took it out and sold it.
Its in its stock form minus the suspesion.
In stock form....around 0-60 7.1.........1/4 mile 15.7
I'm bored people.
I have nothing else to do with my car.
Pretty soon, I'll get a RSX type S and I'll go the performance route this time around.
I started going performance route on this car but then I realized its not worth it.

If I tell you it wasn't a real Si, would it matters ??
Why get a carbon hood when I don't have any performance upgrade anyway.
Its alot shinier(is this even a word ?) this way anyhow.
I dont know. Since the OP clearly stated that it wasnt CF I guess you would be the ass, ass. By the way next time remember that its your asshole to a hole in the wall, ass. Next time you try to prove your assumptions make sure you know the facts. Who's the ass now? You.

everytime theres a thread with a civic pops it always turns this ugly... it's his car people. he can do what he wants with it. who cares?
Clean, shiny, and most importantly, Rice Free Honda.
Note the absence of "Big Red Throbbing Cock" air intake, carbon-fiber hood, two-inch lip, and other worthless boltons.

Good for you, your civic looks like thousands of other peoples. Nothing unique about it. An example of how all cars should be. :thumbsup: meh :thumbsdown:
