Carbon Fiber made in usa and cheap???

Who else is making stuff in the US for the 2008 lancers. I know carbon by design is working on a pretty decent line so far. And the stuff looks great.



Anyone else???

Carbon stuff rarely fits worth a damn. But its not too awful hard to do some alightment tweaking with fenders and hinges and such if you know how to do it. We did a wrx at work one time that had damn near an inch gap on the fenders. That was a massive pain, anything less than that would probably be alright. We did a neon once too that had an inch gap around the headlights, and that was the best we could get it. Get what you pay for in most cases tho

I wouldnt be to worried about fitment on the hood if it doesnt pop right on adjust a couple bolts and that will do the trick.

is 700 bucks too much considering everyone else that is selling hoods for this car is like 1400 and come across a ocean. I can get pictures of a EVOX tomorrow with the hood on it. Ive had a cbd hood on my srt4 it fit great.
