no cf parts are worth buying for an evo, engineers already eliminated that option by using aluminum buddy parts ( fenders, hood, trunk, quarter panels, door skins, roof on MR,) i dont understand why people still tend to get the cf parts??? IMO its a waste of money.

How did u feel? Im just happy I have full coverage. But I know it needs a front bumper passenger fender. A new hood (possibly can be fixed) the passenger rim got dismounted I dont know if its bent or not. I need a new headlight and the sideskirt popped off n looks like it rippled but im not sure

my evo was hit by a pickup at work i did not speek for about 4hrs it ffed up my week

All CT9As have aluminum hoods and fenders. 05+ RS, MR, and SE have aluminum roofs. The trunks, door skins, quarter panels, etc are not aluminum. This being said, I agree with the general thrust your comment. I think the OP make a crucial error my not using factory body parts, significantly devaluing his car in the process.
