I am curious, why would you replace the stock light weight aluminum hood with a CF one? Its not like our stock hood is heavy or anything.... there cant be any weight savings.

Now if you had a '70 Caddy thats one thing but an EVO??

Not trying to start a flame war, just curious is all.

Hate to say it but this topic comes up quite often and most aftermarket hoods actually weigh more than stock.

I don't have a Seibon hood, but I chose not to drill on my Kaminari CF hood. I have gone without sprayers, which works great in Chicago until it snows. The road salt screws your windshield up bad. I plan on mounting a modified sprayer setup in the plastic that faces the windshield where the wipers rest. I've been told that an Acura RSX spayer would work perfectly for that application, but I haven't seen one to confirm.

Oh, and that air induction port is definately on the wrong side. Is the air intake opposite on the right hand drive Evos?
