Some of you guy's driving these evo's need to be a little more careful. It's like every other day I'm seeing a thread about somebody crashing there evo

. Atleast he got out of that mess without a scratch.

That was my thought when I first looked at the pictures. CF tends to be very rigid, and if it breaks it shatters at a fracture point. My thought would be a hood with a large amount of fibreglass would bend like that. Sorry about your car

I was thinking the same thing. Does that mean this wasn't a true CF hood?

an impact like that will destroy anything!! real carbon fiber or not.
just look at the pics and imagine how hard he hit what he hit.

Your missing the point. Carbon fibre has a high modulus but is very brittle. It is very stiff, but if pushed past its yield strength it will shatter, not bend like metal. That hood appeared to bend, which is why I made my fiberglass comment above.

I hope the driver is OK. That situation is always unfortunate. My best wishes for the owner of that car and I hope he resolves that issue in the best way.

I am really sorry to hear that.
