you could always buy a ZC hood, you can even get it in carbon fiber!

i have polaroids but my computer sux...i have no scanner...i think im gonna try and hit up my friend aaron sometime this week cause his comp is the ---- and he can scan it for me.....but what i did is bought the eclipse hood....took a cutting torch and cut out the bump....used tin snips to trim it neatly....then cut a hole and left a 1 inch lip so the eclipse bump would have plenty of metal to sit on...and then i had my step dad weld it...then we took an angle grinder and smoothed out the welds then took a sander then sanded it down really smooth then primed it and then had it painted....looks good...i meen its kinda obvious its not a stock hood anymore...but if you think about it....and u have a good imagination you can kinda vision in ur mind what it would look like...if i can get him to scan the pics for me ill post them soon...

God I hope he can scan them. This has to be seen.

It can't be any worse than this guy in my town. He put a full race pro stock monster hood scoop on his Sentra. It was the gayest thing ever done to any car. He also had a huge *** wing, but it wasn't one of those really rteally cool 6 foot tall aluminum ones. It was just a primered thing he stuck on there. It also had hydro's and is completely primered gray. I wish I could find that thing and take pics for you guys.

Actually. a ZC hood will not fot. They have different headlights. The angle is sharper and the lights are wider.

There are companies that sell Sir "style" hoods that instead of bumping down in the middle they bump up. But they have the USDM headlight shape in them.

They also make CF ZC hoods that fit the civics stock. Guy I know had a CF ZC hood on his hatch, and I know he didn't have the JDM ZC lights. Isn't it that the ZC hoods bolt on though anyways? Isn't the Sir hood that needs the headlights to fit right?

actually my hood doesnt look gay. it just has a bump in it like the eclipse hoods do. it doesnt look like a pro stock hood or anything like that...just a bump in the hood...i didnt take the entire part of the bump just some of it...the eclipse hood bump sticks up like 2 1/2 inches from the hood and mine only sticks up 1 1/4in cause i trimmed it up with tin snips to make it smaller and not so wide as the eclipse hood....some ppl told me i could have just took some sheet metal and done it myself without all the hard work but it prolly wouldnt have came out so clean looking. people dont really notice it til you get in front of the car...from the sides u dont even really notice it awhole lot.
