Lancer / EVO X Hood Options

After careful hard work, Ricks team has come out with a hood so light, so attractive. I still dont know what to say Except.... I WANT IT !!! hehehe
Rumor is the Hood only weighs 5kg which is like holding 2 RED Brick in your hands.



this is the prototype fresh out of R&D. And it should be available in the next group buy. Items I believe are being via DHL. Hoods and bodykit lips. So let me know if your interested and we can see what can be lined up.

[edit:] new images added

The bumper isn't half bad; sharp lines and the design is aggressive (actually reminds me a bit of Gundam styling cues - to those that know your JDM cartoon WHAT UP!) - especially the blacked out fog light area.

I think they were a bit too ambitious with the hood.. the black vents are so-so just to add to the black/white theme but those mini hoodscoops... wth?! reminds me of this:



which doesnt work imo, on a lancer.

i was thinking what ron was thinking: it has a japanese mustang look.

it really comes down to what style you like.. american muscle car look or jdm..

for me i lean toward jdm; so it gets a soso from me.

I agree, its got that ring of american muscle, but i think its not over kill. hahha unlike some scoops and stuff I have seen.

To me it passes the smell test.

soul, tell the company that is designing that kit to consider reducing the amount of vents / scoops on the hood and I think it might actually look pretty good.

they should make 2 hoods IMO
1) with just the middle hood scoops
2) no mid-hoodscoope, with just 4 black vents

lol well the hood I think is to take into consideration both the Lancer and the EVO X in terms of vent placement. SRI would benefit from the vent that is located on the driver front side

Too domesticish I say needs a balance between a evo style with subie style.
