thats actually pretty good. my buddy paid about $550 for his mustang hood (same company). and i paid about $650 for my vis oem carbon fiber hood, on my old integra. so that price isnt bad at all considering its a good quality hood. some of the local shops around here sell hoods ranging from $300-$800. obviously the $300 are horrible quality.

i'd rather have horrible quality than pay 800.
i gotta pay for school and all these other bills and theres no way
i'll be able to afford the piggyback if i get an expensive hood

02-03 Mitsubishi Lancer $499

And you know it's a perfect fit. It's the only real choice...

Thats-a nice-a hood. The description must have lost something in the translation. I do like the hood on ebay and that is a killer price.
