I just installed the new carbon fiber hood on my 2009 honda accord and I'm satisfied with how it came out. Needed an extra set of hands to pick the factory hood up as that hood was almost 45lbs. After install the ONLY unfortunate side was the hood's latch didn't go down far enough to reach the lock so it had to be modified to use the hood without hood pins. Other than that the hood looks awesome and it's super light!
