Stock hood in CF would look better. Your redesigning the hood in a more typical or dated style when x fans aren't tired of the stock hood yet.

No no no. This is the same Hood for the Lancer you guys have had on your site forever.

Not only is this extremely ricey, it looses all the OEM hood design, it's much flatter, no curves, and the vents are cheesy.

If you really want to sale something everyone will buy, go back to the drawingboard and think of something completely different from this. I'm not being a dick, just being honest.

I would like an aftermarket hood for my X, just never would I buy this one.

I don't like it. It looks like something someone would buy to make there lancer look like an evo, but you can tell it's not. I would buy it if it was OEM fiber.

IMO it looks pretty good, but I would rather get CF hood in the form of stock X hood. Any how CF Hoods are badazz.

The stock type hood would look much better imo.
How much weight savings would this have.

Looks like everyone prefers the OEM hood over this one.

THis weighs the same as stock hood. We can do a race skin version of it though that would be lighter. Looks and function are 2 different critera. Same as Lancer skin but EVO would benefit most form the air flow. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. That is why we posted it. Most are liking it though but a couple guys don't and that is cool.

it's alright, I wouldn't get it though... I'd prefer the stock hood in CF or a different design, that looks too ugly for me. Just my personal opinon.

I like the stock hood design much more. The vents on the CF hood don't look good at all and the NACA duct is just off for some reason.
