Lightbulb CF hood?

ok well i just got in too a car crash and my hood got destroyed, so it is time for a new one. i want to get a carbon fiber one. but does any one know if the RRM carbon fiber EVO hood comes with a water cover/block, so that when it is raining i can put something over the vents so water does not come in. also my front bumper got destroyed by the ladys hitch so i need to get a new one, any one have experance with bodykits and which front bumper should i get guys?

Since you're only replacing the front bumper, you'll want one that somewhat flows with the stock sideskirts. The only one that comes to mind is the Accolade Evo8 style front.

If you're getting a full kit, then it's whatever fits your taste.

the evo 8 is the best looking front bumper but it doesn't look as low as some others. i don't want a full kit so i plan on buying just the evo 8 front bumper from accolade

The Accolade front bumper has a weird slope from front to rear when you look at it from the side... be sure to look at many pics of it before you order one.

Another option is to get in touch with someone who already has a kit on an buy his/her OEM front bumper (unless the insurance company is paying for the part of course). Same thing applies for the hood...

The accolade Evo 8 front on the ralliart is not a perfect fit i believe. You have to do some body modification or sumthin i heard, but im not sure

You're right... you have to remove the front re-bar.

Yeah, something you dont wanna do, cause if you ever get into a front end collision you are as good as dead. But heck, if we got into a head on collision in the first place we're as good as dead. So what the hell, get the evo bumper!
