Well i have a 03 Ly Evo .. I have a evo 9 converted ly evo , i have a kaminari cf hood and i did have a cf trunk on but i sold that to my buddy last week. I really like the cf look, but all my cf on the car is 2x2 except the hood. Not only do i like the looks of the carbon fiber but the weight benefit is what i really like more. I know people are going to say the hoods weigh more then factory but i believe the kaminari is lighter. .. so here is my dilema any help would be great...
Evo 9 Front Bumper with Raillart CF Lip


Supporting my favorite shop!









1. Keep the kaminari cf hood paint over it and keep the trunk factory

2. Keep the kaminari cf hood paint over it keep the trunk ditch the wing..


3. Pick up a vis cw style cf hood and pick up a vis cf trunk wingless

 

Keep the current hood because it looks *****in like that and just de-spoiler it and get a trunk lip spoiler in CF.

 

would def be the cheaper route.. sorta

 

man your car looks quite ricy to me

 

2. Keep the kaminari cf hood paint over it keep the trunk ditch the wing..

 

 

If you could afford to, ditch the hood and wheels.

 

Just paint hood and trunk.

 

exhaust needs a trim lol. Since you like the CF look, I would ditch the big wing and go for a flush mount spoiler. keep the hood as is.

 

4. Trade someone for an MR aluminum hood. Paint both hood and trunk lid to match the rest of the car.

 

i have tried to sell those wheels nobody wants them, i cant move on another set of wheels till they sell...

ANOTHER IDEA I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IS DOING DRY CARBON FIBER HOOD AND TRUNK? WHAT YA GUYS THINK?

 

ohhh and i know about the exhaust, it was made for an evo 8 rear bumper not a 9 , i havent even gotten that far yet with fixing the exhaust issue..

 

uhh all evos have aluminum hoods

 

If your going to keep carbon fiber then u should have kept the trunk, at least you lost some weight there.

 

i needed the money to get parts for the car to run, that was more important to me, i can always get one back down the road...
