Carbon Fiber Hood

Hey guys can anyone point me in the right direction for a carbon fiber hood from any company? The price doesn't really matter. I see carbon fiber hoods on evom but i can't tell which one they are. I preferably don't want seibon but i just need opinions.

Thanks

Well if the price doesn't matter why not get the Voltex hood?

If memory serves, Voltex isn't selling their CF hoods anymore because of the cheap knock-offs that are voltex replicas.

Voltex just recently announced on their website that they are stopping all production of their wet carbon CT9A Lancer Evolution 8/9 hoods. Why? Because they learned that Seibon made a knockoff of their hood and that people were actually buying the knockoff. Out of concern that people could accidentally mistake the Seibon quality for Voltex quality if they saw it on a car at a race/street/show, Voltex made a statement on their website that they will no longer make that hood in wet carbon.

ya stay away from seibon. My hood is warped, turning green and cracking after 5 months and they wont warranty it cuz i live in a cold climate. (which is cool, since its stored in a heated garage and not run in winter)
