Cf Evo 8 Style Hood

Hi people I can't find this hood in Carbon Fiber, it seems that only the EVO 7 and OEM style exists for the RA in CF not the EVO 8. Only Accolade sells it but is only available in Fiber Glass. Does somebody knows where is available?

I've always wondered what happens when it rains in those vents?

^ Just about all that rust can be removed with some steel wool and about 15mins of your time when the rainy season ends... had to do this on the evo when i took the vent out and my exhaust mani rusted... took me a lil longer tho cuz i took the heat shield and everything off just to make sure i got all the rust off.

There is no issue with it, some people hear one thing and drop it down the line over something they heard years back.. I suppose their loss as the hood is great fitting.
