MY car had a little boo boo and I need to get the hood repaired. Rather than have it repaired though, I would like to get a new CF hood. I would prefer to keep the original vent and grill but that is not set in stone if I can get a good enough deal or a nicer looking design hood. What do you guys suggest and which is a good dealer to get it from?

Thanks!

Update:

It looks like I need to get a FMIC as well. I need your opinions as well on this too. And where should I get it too?

 

get alluminum, its lighter, stock MR has em...CF is 1 lb heavier. GL

 

Well the stock MR hood will cost me $800 and the insurance is covering only the repair of the hood which is around $400. I figure I can cough up and extra $100 or so and get something. I had seen some on here ages ago but I have not kept up with the options in a while. I want the CF for the look. The 1 lb. will be sacrifice for my vanity. =)

The nicest one out there is either Varis or Fiber Images. Both are beautiful and fit great. The price is kind of high, but worth it if you want the best product. Seibon is probably the only other one I'd consider, but they do not last as long. they get beat and look like crap after being exposed to the elements.

 

Do you have a link for the Varis or the Fiber Images ones?

Robispec has a carbon one that is actually lighter then stock

 

I love CF but a hood is to much for me but if I where to get one this on or the one thats like stock would be my choice.

 

robis hood is like 800 bucks and also has the manufactures names cleared into the hood. i personaly dont like that.

 

The Varis full carbon fiber hood is 7.7 pounds lighter than stock. It cost about $2,000.

 

aaaaaaaaaaaa all ALL evos have aluminum hood.
not all c/f hoods are heavyer then stock. some are lighter. but the price tag is heavyer.

 

Get that varis =]

 

7.7lb weight savings for two grand?!

 

just fix the stock hood...

it's already aluminum btw

 

Just go with the MR one because you will save money and its more reliable.

 

I know it is aluminum already. I am not worried about a couple of pounds either way. I am strictly doing this for the look.
