Are hood pins, the inner rain protector or the aluminum net included?

No. The hood ships with fittings and bolts for the factory hood catch, which is all it needs to mount. Hood pins are recommended by the manufacturer for sports driving but are not included, and the inner rain protector and aluminum net are separate optional purchases.

How much lighter is the Type-S Vented Hood for ZF1 cars?

In Carbon and FRP, the Type-S Vented Hood for ZF1 cars weighs 4.6kg, compared with 9.6kg for the factory hood, a saving of 5kg. The FRP version weighs 4.7kg. The manufacturer does not publish a figure for Full Carbon, so we do not quote one.

Which material option is right for me?

Choose FRP if you want to paint the hood body color, since both faces are FRP. Carbon and FRP shows carbon on top with an FRP underside, which suits most owners who want exposed carbon. Full Carbon uses carbon FRP on both faces for those who want carbon visible underneath as well.

Does the hood help intake as well as cooling?

Yes. Besides venting engine bay heat through the outlet duct, the hood raises the panel over the factory intake duct area, which the manufacturer says improves intake efficiency. Pairing it with the matching front grille from the same company lets the car draw in air even more actively.

Is it strong enough for track use?

Yes. The manufacturer uses a double-layer structure specifically so the hood can withstand circuit driving. For sports driving it still recommends adding hood pins, which are sold separately, as extra security at speed on top of the factory catch and bolts.

Description

J’s Racing Type-S Vented Hood for ZF1 Honda CR-Z

J’s Racing’s Type-S Vented Hood for ZF1 CR-Z owners pairs an outlet duct refined through repeated testing with a raised air inlet section, so it works on heat and on intake at the same time. Compared with the factory hood, the duct releases hot air from the engine bay to prevent heat soak, while the bulge over the factory intake duct improves the engine’s intake efficiency. A double-layer structure gives the strength needed for circuit driving, and the Carbon and FRP version weighs 4.6kg against 9.6kg for the stock hood. It suits a CR-Z that is driven hard; a lightly used commuter will mostly notice the looks.

Design and Performance

J’s Racing says fitting the hood together with its own front grille brings in air even more actively. On the carbon versions, a single piece of carbon cloth covers the panel, so there are no seams in the weave. The hood uses the factory catch, and the catch fittings and bolts are included.

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
