so is there any cool hoods that arent carbon fiber. body shop guy tells me the fibers start to show through the pant after awhile, so im looking for an aluminum hood.

 

your stock hood is aluminum!

 

i know but its 815 bucks so id rather get a cooler cheaper aftermarket one

 

How about this: Get a power drill and start cutting out shapes that look like ducting. I assure you that your self made ducts will have about the same effects as an aftermarket aluminum hood.

 

no no i dont care about the ducting i just want one that looks cool.

 

I believe the only aftermarket hoods for the evo are carbon fiber ones. If you really don't want the cf look, you could paint it to match your car.

 

so does ANYONE sell an aftermarket aluminum hood??

 

well i was told the fibers will start to show through the paint after awhile

 

i've seen some fiber glass hood on ebay.

 

it will probably take years to show through and it may look cool when you get real close and you see the CF but from a foot away it looks color matched to the rest of your car.....i would do something like that if mine wasnt black

 

the guy i talked to owns a large body shop in town and has painted his fair share of race cars loaded with CF. he was saying its closer to six months. it sucks cause i love the shapes the CF hoods come in. but id rather people not know my hood is CF.

 

we are making it now, will send u couple picture tomorrow....

 

for the price, why not go wioth carbon fiber?

 

get the carbon fiber hood, and i'll trade ya.. lolz

 

Well the sides of the wings are carbon fiber and i am sure sombody here has had there evo more then 6 months.
