Hmmm... I dont remember seeing anyone with a carbon OEM style hood. Cranswick has a black car with a carbon evo style hood.

My question would be... why? o.O If you just want oem style probably just be easier to carbon vinyl wrap your stock hood.

stock looking carbon would be cool...i personally don't mind the vents, but i would prefer a more current evo style vent.

Carbon wrap looks way to fake and my hood started bubbling because of the rust in the front of the hood.. And it has a lot of stone chip so i want one wich wont rust anymore si i think ill go for the carbon one and if i dont like the look ill end up painting it later

the hood vent actually has a legitimate function, that's why i don't mind it...Evo style body kits are not for me...other than the hood, my car is externally stock.

i'm not big on "stance". power and handling is my thing.

Get a pro to prep and vinyl wrap your stock hood, or buy a used Lancer hood in good shape - it will all cost a lot less than paint. There are some amazing new carbon-look vinyl styles out there this spring.

You can get a fibreglass stock hood for the RA but I've never seen a c-f item.

Yeah ive had my carbon fiber hood for over a year now. I also purchased the carbon creations oem style hood. Good choice. I find oem style cool. Seems cleaner, like stayin classy. I chose real carbon fiber cuz it is lighter. Youll see yur gunna be impressed. Theres a huge difference really. And regarding the look versus wrap. Its not even comparable. Wrap looks cheap compared to the real deal. Anyways just wanted to say good choice yur gunna be happy!
