Think he means 2007 and below. Probably asking if you'll discontinue production for older models of lancer. Or maybe he's asking if you'll discount some of the older stuff.

Better pics on a better car with an even better hood. We are redoneing part of the mold to resolve some minor issues we found from parts. A week or 2 should turn out some parts.

I think the only problem that I have wth the design of the hood would be the tear drop in the center, I think its a little out of place IMO.MAybe its just the picture from the top, a diferent view may look better. But I really like the vents on the side, they look good. Keep up he good work!!!!

A) It's called a NACA duct. Look it up.
A2) OK, I know no one will look it up. Here's the damn info. The duct was designed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. They use those ducts on everything from airplanes to Ferraris. And the main reason RRM used it was because it's on the Evo X hood.

B) I just realized that I only had one real point, so labeling them A, B and C was really dumb.

C) OK, I'm done now.

The EVO X duct has straight, aggressive lines. The duct on the RRM hood is more round. Our cars are kind of boxy with a lot of straight lines. IMO, I thnk that a duct with more straight line like the EVO X would look better, again IMO. Nothing against Rock or RRM, I love all of the other products. I have an intake coming this week and I hope to get the exhaust in two weeks. I just think that would look better.

I LOVE this one....

what about a more raised hood scoop? I have always liked this hood it is made by another aftermarket company ((no offense Rock, your design Rocks )) but I believe it is based on a Ferrari hood.

Have you guys seen these pics? One is a preview of the new EVO X and the other is a body kit I wish I could buy. The Evo X preview has an awesome scoop.

The artist of the body kit is Bertjan Davelaar he has some awesome stuff, here is his site.
