I still want to be #1 on the list!

That hood is awesome. C-West bumper, that hood, C-West trunk, stock wing...

Someone needs to come up with a diffuser now. And some non-heinous side skirts. Why can't anyone but Porsche and BMW design some decent side skirts??? (eg GT3, E36 M3)

Same stock design though.
Just to clarify again....
This is the ONLY sample of this hood in the world. The hood on Ebay is (excuse me for being so blunt, but...) a piece of crap compared to this. I promise you that the hood on Ebay is not anything like this hood. Trust me.

I know That was why I said it was not the one on Ebay. When i said the same stock design, I was referring to them being the same look as stock, ( same mold, hood vent, etc)

We had a company that builds many prototype vehicles for the auto industry take them apart and spray the inside with a semi-gloss black. They change the entire front look of the Evo. Will post better photos of them later.

Unfortunately, they do not do work for the general public....sorry.

However, according to them, any quality paint and body shop could do it. Just make sure they use quality paint and that they re-silicone the lense to the housing after breaking the OEM silicone seal to prevent fogging or moisture.

More pictures to follow soon......

You are looking at the underside skeleton of the hood. (It is very similar to the underside of the stock hood) The underside and the top are actually sandwiched together in the autoclave, but start out as two separate pieces.

We have contacted the manufacturer about the tremendous interest in these pieces and they will work on a cost analysis for us and let us know how much they could sell these pieces for. As they're not a manufacturer of aftermarket parts, this is all kind of new to them. Be patient, but we should have much more info next week.
