Looking for an OEM CF Hood. I know sometimes the fittment is not so great on some products. So I want to ask, if anyone has had good experiences with a certain brand of CF hood for our Evo's. Also looking at a good deal. So if you know of any good prices out there, send it my way. I have looked and seen a few, but am reluctant to buy due to the lack of knowledge about the reputation of the company.

I take it you mean an OEM-style hood? Or was there an option on the brochure that I missed? ;)

Check out Evotistics Carbon Fiber hood, personally i think it looks perfect and fittign was excellent. I'm not sure if he still has it, but I know he traded his Evo for a MR (white) so maybe he Panda'ed his MR out.

In retrospect, I would've loved a white MR and put a carbon fiber hood and trunk on it. sickness.

I asked Brandon (evotistic) at the last meet what brand his CF hood is....he said it is a VIS. I heard some of the VIS hoods have fitment issues, but he did not have a problem with his.

I had the cf hood on my black evo, and it looked fresh and the fitment was perfect. It uses all stock mounting points and doesn't require hood pins(although they are always recommended). I put it on the MR this weekend and it looks dope. Fitment is still so fresh and so clean. And Kimmi was right it's VIS.

Carbontrix has an oem cf hood that is probably one of the better quality ones Ive seeen out there and its actually lighter than stock unlike the Seibon and VIS. Its a little pricier but the quality is much better. Fitment is perfect as well.
