What better modification can you do to your Acura than add a brand new Integra Carbon Fiber Hood. There are a number of main reasons why you would add this product to your Acura over your stock hood. You probably already know some of the popular concepts, like carbon fiber hoods are extremely light, or that the new stylish looks are sure to impress any automotive onlooker. These reasons play an integral part as to why a Acura enthusiast would purchase this hood. But they are not the only reason.
Another main reason you may want to add a carbon fiber hood to your tuned ride is for its resistance to chips and dents from stones. Carbon Fiber Hoods generally are not painted. They come with a strong clear coat from the factory. When you add this to the fact that carbon fiber is very strong due to it molecular structure, the hood is without a doubt, able to withstand potential blemishes from rocks and debris as compared with the original OEM hood.
The first generation Integras actually came with two different engines. Although they shared the same engine code, there were a few differences. For 1992, Acura added the GS-R trim level (DB2 chassis code), powered by a variant of the very successful B16A engine, called the B17A1, which was only available in USDM (United States Domestic Market) models. The 92-93 Acura GS-R is the rarest to date because of its B17A engine, low production numbers, and unavailability in the used car market. This model holds its retail value extremely well because of its rarity. A Type R model was added for the 1995 model year in Japan and in 1997 in other markets, powered by a highly tuned, hand-finished variant of the GS-R's engine. The Type R was the pinnacle of the line. It had many exclusive features found on no other Integra. This trim of the Acura only came with a 5 speed manual transmission. A re-tuned engine computer also contributed to improved power output, which allowed the Type-R to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. The interior was stripped down to reduce weight. The air conditioning system was removed in early models and nearly all the sound-dampening material was eliminated. If you are looking to increase the performance of your Integra, the best enhancement products that can be made is the carbon fiber hood.
