I know that C-West makes a nice CF hood for the Evo. I believe HKS/Kansai do as well. Others might be Monster Sport and BOZZSPEED.

Ill get some pics of my Tarmac with the G3 Carbon Fiber hood soon.

I plan on installing it this weekend!!!! Quality is top notch, only downside is it weighs 1lb more than stock =(

yeah i heard the G3 weighs more cause the underside of it is fiber glass.....

i am not too worried about the weight...1lb isn't going to affect anything...i just have hail damage all over my hood...and i got the insurance money to replace it and i thought...hey what a good time to swap it out with a carbon fiber hood....especially considering that the carbon fiber on my wing was the only thing that resisted all the dents from golf ball size hail....that stuff is strong!!!

Here are some pics of the Seibon CF hood for the Mirage...it's the Evo VII style, so the Evo hoods will probably look very similar...

I thought that was Kevlar and CF. Do you have a picture of the underside of that hood?

Any fitment issues?
