Question Who to buy CF hood from?

let's see here? What choices we have for a cf hood. So who has the lowest price for the best quality? Rock and Dave, either of you plan on any GBs for your cf hoods? I'm trying to price them and need a new hood soon ( thanks Dave, the rest of the kit is holding up though !) So what's up guys?

Accolade seibon cf evo style hood

both seibon styles from accolade

RRM evo style cf hood (10th pic down under 02-03 dress up parts)

Then again there is this too:

RacerWheel

Thoughts anyone?

I also would like to get a new hood soon. But I have no idea which one. I really like RRM's hood. Also heard good things about Seibon. I just don't know

I think Only carbon evo hood you can get thats a non-conversion is the seibon style. cant get VII style unless you do conversion (correct me if im wrong). I bought my Seibon from RRM for $599 plus ship. Awsome quality, weave is very nice, very few imperfections, fit great. just had to drill holes for grill and cut up windsheild washer nozzles to get them to fit.

accolade now sells the seibon cf as well. they are having a sale on it right now I think for like $450 (theres a thread on it)

EVO VII style means having the EVO VII hood look aka the vents in the hood man. DId not mean to confuse you. Yeah I head $599, but that is why i posted this to see if there is a better deal or at least one on the way from RRM.

EVO VII style has the intake vent, seibon hood does not. I say you get what you pay for with this kinda mod. like I said accolade is having a sale on it I do believe. that would be your best bet. it is an awsome deal.

CF hood

I just got a ViS hood for my lancer. I got it from a company called jtr sports up in orange county. When i picked it up it only cost me $420 out the door. The hood has no fitament issues and i just bolted it up did alittle bit of wiggling to make it have the right space all the way around and it was awesome. Iv gotten alot of coments about how good it looks. They are on ebay for a little cheaper but if you call them they make it more expensive and u can go pick it up let you pick them up.

Here is the link to there hood on ebay :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-03...temZ4605720964

here is there company website http://www.jtrsport.com/

I went to their building when i picked it up and talked to them they seemed to be a good company and i plan on buying a body kit from them in the future.

Got my Seibon hood from SupremeCVR for less than $600 shipped and insured. I went with the TS II hood.
