Vented Hood Help

Looking for an evo-style vented hood for my 06 Ralliart. Having some trouble finding any non-carbon ones. Anyone have pictures of one installed on your car..hopefully? Or a reputable store to deal with?

Appreciate the help, thanks. Andrew.

Accolade is your best bet to my knowledge but I'm sure there are others

Hey Dave - do you make the vented part that can be just glassed onto the exsisting hood or only do the fully replacement part?

By the way my kit is still looking great on the car.

Thats a very good question. If i replace mine its unused anyways, so id be lieing if i hadnt thought about chopping it up a bit. although i do like the raised lip around the vent on the evo.

Chowetime we only sell the full replacement hood and not the vents by itself, im glad the kit we sent you those many years ago is holding up good.

Unfortunately over here we have a few laws that state CF hoods and glass hoods as illegal but you can have added on bits etc that are not illegal...

It is not the cops that is the problem - if I was involved in a car crash (even if it is not my fault) my insurance company would not pay out and I would be left with a repair bill for the other car and any injuries that the other person might of recieved from that accident... because the carbon fibre and fiberglass hoods do not have crumple zones they act more like a frisbee or will shatter like glass.
