so I'm looking at getting a carbon fiber hood for my evo and I'm popping in here to see what your guys thoughts are on brand and fitment.

i have used Seibon and had good luck but what do you guys like and what have you had the best luck with fitment and price, I'm going to get the oem style I'm just wondering which brand to get. and is it a good buy?

 

If your looking to save some weight, the stock is lighter... other than that if your looking to just get a cf hood then my guess would be stick with seibon but not really sure how "good" its gonna fit.

 

go for dry carbon

 

whats a good source for dry carbon whats the difference I've never been familurized with this.

 

I'm going for the looks aspect at this point not weight.

 

dry looks so much sexier IMO. its also a lot lighter and a lot more rare. but also about 3x the price of wet carbon.

if your going for just looks, you could just get the stocker wrapped in carbon fiber wrap and save some cheese, or go baller and get dry.

 

I have a Fiber Images hood and it fits/looks amazing. I haven't seen a quality hood for an evo better than this.

Found this on ebay, looks like a decent deal.

I have a seibon CF hood, fitment is pretty spot on.

 

Dry carbon fiber is not shiny like the regular Carbon Fiber wrapped fiberglass hoods available from VIS/Fiber Images/Seibon. I think Seibon does make a Dry Carbon but usually dry carbon is over 1000 bucks. If you could care less about weight then don't bother.

I also think Robi Spec makes (Or used to make) a carbon fiber hood but his is also about 900 bux not shipped.

 

My VIS fits pretty good. Id give it a 9/10. Got a package deal for 900 shipped w/ the trunk. But I am replacing the hood for an OEM. Cause light is right! Trunk is definitely lighter than oem and will get sprayed body color.

If I was still living in Sun Valley, Id give you a heck of a deal on my hood...

 

I was thinking of replacing my OEM hood as well as other parts and just from talking to people and reading review IMO I would and will going with Seibon. I have already contacted them and their customer service was really good.

 

CRAP hahahah why did you move, hahahaha o well

 

so what about AIT or carbon creations how are these guys

 

About the same hit or miss quality

 

about the same as VIS and Seibon.......hit or miss on fitment and quality
