Carbon Fiber Hood Preference?!

Ok, I just want to clear this up with the VENDORS. Please vote on the above poll so they can get an idea of what kind of CF hood we want (or don't).

They should make sure it fits the RalliArt because then for sure, it will fit the other 04'-05' Lancers.

honestly an oem cf from vis, vis is the **** when it comes to quality and reliability, when i use to have a 94 civic hatch with a gsr motor, and i had a vis cf hood, i lost traction one day coming home, ran into a pole straight through the middle of my car, pole ended up halfway into the front of my car, my hood just bend back, when the tow truck pulled my car out, the damn hood just popped straight, a couple of scratches, sold it for good amount of money, but damn i love vis hoods

An Evo vented hood would be pretty sweet, but if they could design a good looking uniquely vented hood, I'd go for that instead.

How could a carbon fiber hood bend backwards half way up into the front of your car and then just pop straight out with no damage other than scratches? Thats impossible, how much flex do you think a carbon fiber hood has?

I would like a Different type of CF hood, it would have to have unique venting, but cool lines and some venting.
