Crunch!!.......nooooooo New Hood?
My kids grandma backed into my '04 TSX in the driveway......muched the hood, also bumper and grill have minor scuffs.
I am pondering a replacement carbon fiber hood. Which is the best value for quality & price. Note that I am also in western Canada so I get some winter...like
-30C ocasionally, so is cold a factor??
Bit o history: Wuz lookin at another Accord (had a '90 Accord EXR prior) the TSX caught my eye, 4 cyl. 200HP and nicer car than an Accord. Have had it 4 months now, been fine, replaced the PCB (circuit board, no HVAC back lights/radio just died) in the audio unit under warranty - fine now. Oh ya....5 speed auto - eats a lot of gas ....tiptronic mode or my heavy foot???

Ouch! That sucks!
Welcome to Azine!
I would definitely go for the carbon fiber hood. (what color is your car?).
I don't remember there being any "cold" factor for carbon fiber hoods...that actually wouldn't even really make sense to me, but I'm sure (if someone doesn't get to it here first) that it would be easy enough to pull up on google.
