Lightbulb How do you guys like this CF hood?

What do you guys think?



Personally, I think it looks great especially with that Gialla body kit in white (White is my favorite color), but wonder if it is at all functional. With all those vents, I am sure it will dissipate heat a a lot better but what does it do for aerodynamics? If only Evos had a company like Mugen making wind tunnel tested body kits. Or do they?

The C-West body kit was wind tunnel tested.

No ****?? Cool, I thought I read that when Super Street did a write up on that company but I guess I forgot as I read that article about a year or two ago.

Any other companies using wind tunnels to make their body kits?

That body kit I posted above is the same one they use on their race car. Notice the Ralliart mirrors on both? Those are must-haves.

Another reason I want the C-West CF hood and front bumper, trunk and rear diffuser (in progress). All of it is true aero, not just for looks. That's why it costs $$$.
