i have seen the car in person and the hood is bolted onto the car. the first time i saw the car there was a small gap between the hood and the fender, however, the second time i saw it, the problem was solved. ask lanceritiz for details (its his car). i must say that seeing this hood in person it just unbelievable. it really looks incredible. when you see it on someone's car, its kinda like you wish you had it on yours. this hood is very nice. the pictures give it no justice (not even the best pictures).

That is why i ask your contact info, so i can talk to you for dealer or wholesaler account for you.

Unless you are not register busines business, just doing personal.
i will fax you my info within a week or so. im working on some other stuff now. i may be interested in the accord hoods.

Calvin, I'm not saying theres any problems with your hood. I think it is beautiful. I personally love it!

I just wanna know:

1. The pics of the Lancer on that website. Is the hood sitting on the car or is it bolted down and 'clipped' shut?

2. Whats up with the gap?

I'd come to your warehouse, but that would take me the weekend seeing that Im on the .. west coast.
For what i know all carbon hood are hand made, and after finished usually will have 0.1-0.2cm shrink. the picture was taking direct at the corner of the liner between fender and hood.
also the color of yellow and black make it look more bigger.

I will take another picture when other lancer install the hood.

hey whatz up SWift, thanks for the Feedback. As what i ask the factory, for most after market CF hood will have the shrink problem. about 0.1-0.2 cm like i just say before.

What lanceritiz to make it perfect is, he bought a rubber gasket( straight long one) then to stick it on the corner of the fender.
After he doing that it make the liner gap gone, it just look even better then the OEM hood for the gap between fender and hood..

just something i noticed while looking at pics on another thread. might help answer the gap issue.

in the pic with the heading "close up" you can see the same gap with the stock hood at that angle. i think its just the angle in which the pic was taken

$880? Someone is making out like a badit.
Could we get a group buy for maybe $400 shipped?

Our hood is not $400 item, as i say before. There are many type of Carbon made, and they cost different.

the whole kaminari body kit costs less than that.

dood... I would do 600ish shipped... but 800+shipped? that's kinda harsh.

Guys once again, do not make this post long. If you don't like the price, no one force you to buy it.
