Default New hood recommendation

Hi all,

Just wanted to post credit where it's due... I had my old black vinyl hood replaced in the autumn and was pretty nervous about getting a good new one, especially after seeing some pretty hairy stories about the fit.

I went to Car Hood warehouse in Sevenoaks - spoke to Tyrone, lovely chap, super job : I now have a dark blue mohair lid, it's beautiful and sets off the car wonderfully. What's more it's done a few months now and there's been no movement in the fit and the mechanism works perfectly.
Hope this helps someone trying to decide

Looks great. Did they reuse your glass screen? Also how much did it cost to have it fitted? I’m going to need one in the near future. Cheers

Glass screens don't get re-used... they're 'welded' in place with the wiring ready to clip together. Sadly, the old one gets chucked away with the hood... I did ask!
Cost - varies depending on what you want: suggest looking at their website (Car Hood Warehouse | Honda Car Hoods | Soft Tops | Convertibles) to find out for your choice as it ranges from £500 to £745 depending on what you want.

I got mine back yesterday with a new Robbins Mohair roof fitted. Well impressed with the quality and fitment. Not so impressed with the birds that $hat on it already!!

I had that Carhood Warehouse blue mohair hood fitted in 2009. Still absolutely fine. They are though difficult to keep clean.
