It looks really nice! I like how the latch is integrated. Looks like it's designed not to use the front chrome trim.

Powered by Honda

chrome trim is gone for 06 so thats why.

CCColtsicehockey

yup which i really like the no hood trim deal. this design is like the phase hood design which leads me to believe the rumors that phase was a sister company of spoon, and now that phase is gone spoon will make the old phase bumper.

CCColtsicehockey

nope hood is designed for euro R which has not gotten a redesgin yet.

What does "dry carbon fiber" mean?

kensukikatayo

Dry carbon fiber > wet carbon fiber!

Maxboost

His pose and face expression just crack me up!

that hood looks sick, how much?

Simply put there are two ways of laying up composites. One is wet, the other dry. In 'wet', the cloth is laid in a mould resin is poured and spread over it, a vacuum bag seals it up, and a vacuum is applied for a certain period of time and at a certain curing temperature. The problem with 'wet' lay-up is generally there'll be excessive resin adding to the weight, and it won't be even resulting in regions where the resin won't have worked it's way around all the fibres of the cloth resulting in regions that a porous, prone to moisture absorption, and reduce structural integrity and stiffness

Dry is also known as pre-preg. In other words it's cloth that comes pre impregnated with resin from the manufacturer in spools that must be refrigerated. This doesn't have any of the problems of wet, as the resin coats every single fibre evenly and there'll be a consistent finish with minimal weight as there is no excess resin. Dry Carbon Fibre is what you want for any structural application! It's good stuff and worth every extra dollar.

I think Spoon simply bought out what was left of Phase

i'm gonna end up buying a carbon fiber hood eventually too, my stock hood is all pitted and i'd rather just replace it instead of repainting it

Does anyone have a price yet?

CCColtsicehockey

nope but spoons regular carbon fiber hood is about 1000 and this is dry carbon fiber so it will be atleast double.

Maxboost

On Spoon website the quote is 99750 YEN, which is about 850 USD.

Paneristi

I don't think that's a carbon fiber hood by Spoon because I have a Spoon Carbon Fiber hood on my CL9. It has two small metal plates on the hood and one of them with product number on it. I bought it from Japan for $900US shipped to MACAU. I also bought the Spoon (Phase) front bumper and it cost $1050US shipped to MACAU with paint.

CCColtsicehockey

It is a new spoon hood it is not released yet. that is supposidly the prototype.

CCColtsicehockey

there two different hoods

jiggaman

woah, what hood would you suggest for someone on a more limited budget, i dont want to have to get hood pins either..

CCColtsicehockey

well if you drive 80 or above at all you will want hood pins. I have the TCSportlin hood which I am able to get for 550 shipped to my buddies shop. so if you are close i could meet you half way or something with it. I dont have hood pins yet but plan on getting them.

Hey Paneresti, got any pics of your car? I am from Macau too.

datplayaz

wow... that hood looks good, I want a dry carbon fiber hood.

CCColtsicehockey

yeah its pretty sick

CJams

OMFG That is sweet!

datplayaz

Seeing that hood makes me want to get a TSX with a Mugen kit and the hood...

lito

if it was only Mugen!

datplayaz

^^^^^^ Spoon/Mugen = Spugen just as good

Paneristi

My car is in Ao's Racing now. they are installing the Spoon front bumper, Mugen side skirt and Mugen rear bumper now. I will post some pics later. How about your CL7?

^ wow.... sounds nice man!!..... i always wonder how the Spoon/Phase front with the Mugen side and rear looks..... since the Spoon front is kinda clean not aggresive like Mugen, but goes well with Euro R side and rear....

hey....is it true that ALL CL7/9 in HK and Macau are modded??.. my friend told me she always see CL7/9 with OEM kit, JDM kit, Phase, Mugen, Buddy club......

Paneristi

All the 2.4S CL9 and CL7 EuroR are came with OEM kit and most of the owners put Mugen body kits and only 2 put Phase front bumper. One is in blue color CL7 and mine one is in sliver color CL9.

^^ you need to drive around with a camera in your pocket. That way you can share with those of us here on this side of the water.

CCColtsicehockey

agreed

also how did you still get the spoon/phase bumper, and how much was it and can you get more.

Ya... you should go around and take some pictures for us!!
and my friend said she always see them with some nice JDM rims too, like Volks or Prodrive~

Paneristi

Yes. You can get it directly from Spoon Japan and it cost $1,020US without paint shipped to Macau.

Paneristi

Most of the people use Volks and I am using 18" 57F in Black color with Project Mu Forged Sports caliper 4pistons for 4pads.

Project Mu

BU

May I ask Yours is a CL9 or CL7 ?

Just the Project Mu Caliper on OEM disc or the whole Brake Kit upgrade ?

Thanks

Holy, The price is as expansive as Brembo BBK

Bender

CCColtsicehockey

But its JDM pimp shit think i i will get those instead since I can get a whole brake upgrade just not calipers.

CivicEx1998

wasup buddy,
what offset are u running on the volks.

Thanks

Paneristi

I put the whole Brake Kit with 355mm on my CL9 and its very $$$$$ because it's forged caliper. The 355mm rotor looks so damm good with 18" rims.

Paneristi

Hey buddy, it's 38 offset because I need to put 355mm rotor. Harrison's CL7 is arrived to Macau already and we can see this crazy CL7 couple days later on the Macau race. Are you going there??
