Default cowl hood
I am looking at getting a 2-3" cowl hood for my 92 lx. I was wondering where the best place is to get one and whether you recommend fiberglass or metal?

there's many places to get them.

get fiberglass. if you're gonna upgrade might as well go lighter.

I got my 3 in from harwood racing i shoulda shopped around i think i found some for cheaper but i dont know from where though, maybe it was a deal or somethin. but if u buy from harwood you'll need to do some screwing and sanding/cutting prolly but it still looks pretty tight
