That's not always the case.... That everyone is an Evo wannabe... how about those of us that are wanting to turbo & would like a nice vent in the hood to cool everything down!?

So what's going on with a hood? has anyone made one yet? I might be needing to replace mines soon from some damage. And a CF hood would be much appreciated... OEM preferably... With or without the strut bar...

I feel what you are going for...I think it would just look better Oem styleee.

It doesnt matter to me too much anyways. Ive got a black ra. Carbon fiber on black...

I dunno...we should just send ANY company that makes CF hoods a link to this forum.

I AM a little surprised that Carbon Trix (the RRM affiliate company) hasn't chimmed in here w/ a hood yet. Considering how quick they were on most other things.

well went to the car shop and confirmed today that mid febuary will be when i get my carbon hood made. after i post pics ect IF anyone wants there phone number i will give it out and i have talked to them, the more the cheaper it will be for a group buy so you all be thinking about it. My hood will cost me around 650 or so that was the quote to me. after my hood is made and on car the shop will have free will to make as many molds and hoods as they can and are willing with my stock hood. so if you dont find a hood between now and then then well here is your chance and i WILL POST PICS when all said and done.

RRM doesn't seem to be in the habit of announcing something before it's ready (the turbo was the exception). I can't imagine them NOT making a CF hood. I'm sure we'll see one from them (since they do make the Evo and 02-03 hoods), just a matter of when.

Yeah, it just seems that RRM is really focusing on the engine of the RA!
