Sorry guys! I got home, sat on the computer and passed out! Im awake now though so Ill go ahead and post the pics












The skin weighs just 5lbs after trimming.


Here is the hood prior to mounting. It should be flush and aligned once its installed.


It is only fitting that the lightest hood ever go on the lightest Evo in the country! I can't wait to see it mounted!

 

That looks incredible! Bump for true engineering.

Hood looks great man. I am super interested. I just PM'ed Robi lastnight about pricing for a hood and trunk.

I need something before the DSM/Evo shoot-out in a few weeks though?!

 

Thinking about doing fenders, bumpers or side skirts if this goes well?

God that matte finish is sexy!

 

If you want the same thing as Mark, it can be done. But we just gave Mark a skin, and he is taking care of installing it on the car. If you are still interested, send KevinD from evolution dynamics a PM.

The hood with the stock mounting is at least a month away from being completed.

Yah! Im really quite smitten with that matte finish! The finished products probably wont be as matte.

If this goes well, we will probably do the trunk followed by a hood for an Evo X. I dont know what the demand is for fenders or side-skirts so I am a bit hesitant in going down that road.

 

What kind of supports are you thinking for the trunk. I'm definately interested if it would suport my Voltex wing.

 

i didn't get a chance to go see the car yesterday cause i was finishing a 6speed to 5 speed swap, but the pictures look sweet alejandro!

 

Looks awesome alex! I guess Ill have to get in line for mine! :-)

 

The matte finish looks even better in person, it is all very uniform because of the hight quality carbon, aerospace gade !! We have done wings noses etc for the fSAE cars and they always look soo sexy in the matte then we go and paint them all

 

Very nice hood, keep up the awesome work guys!

 

well i got hail damage this weekend my cf hood is cracked in 12 places and trunk is dinged to.... time for light weight cf hood??????

that think looks great congrats!!!!

^Why not get two, just incase something happens again j/k

 

Carbon fibre touching aluminum is bad.
Corrosion problems.
This can be fixed with a barrier ply of fiberglass. No direct contact = no problem
Also, instead of aluminum honeycomb, Hexcel nomex honeycomb is the stuff (these) dreams are made of.
Another good point is, if using honeycomb and installing wings, spacers/inserts must be used to prevent core crush.

 

that looks great.

 

bump- does anyone know of any light weight hood alternatives (other than seibon dry carbon)?
