Bumping an old thread. Anyone have luck getting this warrantied? Hood vent is missing paint too and one dealer denied me on it. Mitsubishi dealers aren't all that common anymore.

 

I ended up just buying a can of black plastidip to fix mine. Much cheaper than buying a carbon fiber replacement, even though I would have preferred that option. Turned out better than I expected and matches the other black vents giving a nice contrast on apex silver.

 

Thanks. I think I want something a bit more permanent.

 

Anyone know if I can drive around with the center scoop removed? Wanted to get it painted, and still drive the Evo. Bad idea?

 

The same thing is happening to 2015 MR..... however its WW so i dont ever notice it

 

Anyone know if I can drive without the hood vent installed on my car? Or will I run the risk of blowing the welds on my intake? Come on!

 

Captain, if you pull the scoop, you'll see that the under-hood sound deadener/insulation will be exposed. It's probably not the best to drive around with it getting pushed down / stressed or getting soaking wet if it rains. If you take that off as well, I would think you should be ok for a little while.
