Picked up a rather big box last week from AVB Sports, struggled to get it in the car but we managed to make it work.
I actually forgot to take pictures of the parts unwrapped after we inspected everything, but it's pretty obvious I think (full Type-S kit, J's hood is still in the store because it's too big to fit inside the Civic).
Picked up the hood and testfitted it yesterday.
Really impressed with the fitment, unlike other aftermarket hoods I've owned (Seibon crap) this one fits as good as OEM.
I love the J's hood, I have the exact same one on my car and it works great. It lowers under-hood temps significantly, it reduces lift without adding downforce, and no risk of water as any water that enters simply drops to the ground behind the rad. As light as the oem hood is, I think this hood is actually a bit lighter, many aftermarket hoods are actually heavier than stock oem. Looks great.
Thanks, it does feel lighter compared to the oem hood
The J's hood is FRP so still needs paint, this was a testfit as mentioned
Already have the J's Racing Type-S bodykit as well, once I have all the body parts (still need front fenders and work done on rear quarters/rear bumper) the car is going to get a full respray in NIOP.
Found an oem hardtop stand in the UK for quite cheap a while ago.
Still looking for the US version hardtop cover (grey fabric with S2000 in red, just like the car cover), seems like none of the US Honda parts vendors I found wants to ship to Europe (Belgium).
These are still available new, so if anyone knows a vendor who offers worldwide shipping on this please let me know
