You guys are gonna love this, called VIS today and here is the word for word convo i held with this schmuck:
VISRACING-"VisRacing, Toby speaking"
Me-Hi, I was wondering if you guys have come out with Evo 8 hood for the 2004 Lancer (notice I didnt specifically say RALLIART)
VISRACING-hold on please let me check..............Yes we have an cf hood for the Evo
Me-No, im looking for a cf hood for the 2004 lancer, I actually have a ralliart but I know since there is a strut bar it wont make it fit right
VISRACING-hold on please.........Im sorry but we dont make a ralliart hood for the evo
Me-NO, i drive a ralliart, im looking for a hood for it, I was told that you guys had made a hood for 2004 Lancers and I was wondering when you would have it ready.
VISRACING-(listen to this!!!) Well I just asked my supervisor and he told me that they dont make a ralliart hood for any 04 Lancers
Me-Jesus God are you on crack? I HAVE A 2004 LANCER AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF YOU MAKE A HOOD FOR THE 2004-2005 LANCER
VISRACING-Have a nice day sir
[end of conversation]
If thats the kind of customer service Vis offers, they can kiss my white a$$. Right now I would buy a cf hood from a cheapo ebay company before i buy from them

I've always thought vents like on the Mitsu WRC....the car designers said that vent is actually more benificial performance wise than the Evo 8 styled vent
just thought I'd throw that out there

A vent on our hood would be purely for show since our intake wasn't designed for one. Especially the CAI which sucks from the bottom of the car!!!
Those with a "shorty" might be able to rig some piping which might help a little, but probably wouldn't be worth the effort.

hi all
for one if someone wants to make there RA look like an EVO then i say go for it, but i personally am not going for that look on my RA. yes i could have gotten a evo but hay look at it this way, 18000 for a RA or 35000 for a EVO. well RA it is especially after i would have thrown out the seats, that stupic little "guage cluster" with the REALLY SMALL guages. lets see thats about a 15000 dollar diferenst so what could i do to a RA with all that money and it wouldnt look like anyone elses
ooo yea build MY OWN style car thats it lol anyways, thats just what i seen when i went to get a EVO and found the RA instead plus i think you could pull more HP and Torgue from a RA then a EVO if we had the same after market suport the EVO has. just my thoughts
