paint hood but leave vents carbon
paint roof black and add VG since its an RS
add stock carbon evo 8 wing since its wingless
leave front lip all carbon

vortex generator is ~ $250 I think .. otherwise check sites like www.lancershop.com .. yep:

.. ouch, $300 - $400 for CF.

isn't the carbon fiber heavier than the stock aluminum hood? i do like how it looks though, especially on a white evo, mmmm
