Thanks for the tips guys. I shall try again this weekend- to be honest I was too scared to pry open the black clips off the heatshield because they bend alot but wouldn't come out.. was worried it would snap.

Not sure how relevant this is but I'm an Aussie with a white Evo X.

Another really good tip! In my Civic when I was prying things I dropped a screw down there and never got it back... ever

Very nice hood scoop that you got. You should get the front scoop too.

Wish I would've thought of putting down a towel or blanket. Because one of those black clips are lost in the jungle of an engine bay. I found getting a long screwdriver behind the heat shield to help pry out the black clips, keep the heat shield from bending.

Nice write up. Looks great, especially with the cf bumper lip. Very interested in doing the same, what was the price for that scoop. I have found some others from different manufacturers, but this one looks great!

This looks great! Love the look of the scoop and the APR air dam.

^^Not really when considering your paying for quality of workmanship. Sure he could go buy an Ebay knock off for 50 bucks, but then it will look like he paid 50 bucks for it. Poor fitment, uneven weave, etc.

Has anyone come across an after market paint grade scoop with the higher lip?

I have the capabilities of painting parts myself, and don't want to pay over 3 hundo, for such a tiny carbon fiber piece.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

looks sweet, I ordered mine yesterday. I paid 299.00 shipped. RR evo ftmfw. What kind of lip is that, I want it. My cars gonna look similar. Smoke out those headlights and it will look even sicker imo.
