Hi people I can't find this hood in Carbon Fiber, it seems that only the EVO 7 and OEM style exists for the RA in CF not the EVO 8. Only Accolade sells it but is only available in Fiber Glass. Does somebody knows where is available?

 

I haven't seen it anywhere...i was searching threads for a while about it too..sorry bro.

I've always wondered what happens when it rains in those vents?

 

nothing. I have a evo hood on my 03 lancer. left vents open all spring/summer/fall. it rusted the bolts on my exhaust manifold heat shield is all. i also have a SRI. No issues with water. even in terrential downpore. good thing about thr seibon hood though is it has a cover for the vents.

 

yeah there are ducts under that block the rain/block massive downpour through the hood.

 

i made a plate that fits the hole on mine with a rubber strip around the edges "the leaf collector" .it was real easy to make and cheap.

 

^ Just about all that rust can be removed with some steel wool and about 15mins of your time when the rainy season ends... had to do this on the evo when i took the vent out and my exhaust mani rusted... took me a lil longer tho cuz i took the heat shield and everything off just to make sure i got all the rust off.

 

SO no one has seen this Hood. I emailed Accolade and they told me nobody actually makes it only the evo 7 version.

 

RRM or Accolade? I know someone with the Accolade in an Evo 8 but nobody with the RRM.

 

 

Some one told me that the hood you sell like the above has had fitment problems with our RA's...i'm tryin to get the skinny here...what's up with that?

 

There is no issue with it, some people hear one thing and drop it down the line over something they heard years back.. I suppose their loss as the hood is great fitting.

 

I don't have doubt about their fitment and quality I was just asking about a hood

 

I understand...i was asking the vendor actually...prob should have sent a PM don't wanna take away any buisness from them - it's a good company...sorry Accolade
