are you serious?
cus if you are he's saying that someone posted this already

when i see pics of it on a 7g from TGC then ill believe it
-
well they're obviously not actual pics, those pics are definitely for a different car.
when i drive down to them to pick up my new rear bumper, i'll insist they have a 7g evo hood for me to look at. i'll tell them everyone's waiting for my confirmation so they should be eager to show it to me.
-
if u confirm i might buy one since i havent bought anything for my car in 2 years...

Carbon Fiber and Paint
Ok, I have a question about Carbon Fiber. I don't believe I have ever heard or seen a piece of painted Carbon Fiber. Is there a reason for this, or is it simply because the parts are so expensive to begin with that prepping, primering and painting is just more than anyone cares to deal with since the finish is pretty solid as is?
-
I think its for more of the "show off" effect. THey spend $500 on a hood and dont want to cover it up to make it look like it is stock https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ult/tongue.gif

Painted carbon hoods
I've seen it painted. I hate the carbon hoods. I think it looks retaded. Kinda like the flat primer for a paintjob... Or a load of money into a car and they're riding on steelies... Or worse, on donut spares...

hehe JDM style SUCKED!!!!!!!!
They *think*(mostly Honda drivers) they are cool with Carbon Fiber, but it is sow damn ugly. Get real and paint that hood.
-
so has anyone heard anything else about the hood? And if i get one i would diffently paint it. I wish i could carbon fiber my whole car, and i would paint every inch of it. let everyone think that its all metal, and kick their ass wit a car that weights nearly nothing!
-
like we all thought... shit is probably fake... nobody is willing to get screwed over....
-
only similar work done was when someone bought evo inserts and molded it into a regular hood.
-
whats up guys me and matt have been talking about this EVO CF hood mistery, and i WILL sacrifice my self and i will order the evo hood in like 5 weeks currently saving money for it.

may the force be with you
-
i sure hope it works.. for ur sake
-
on that site if u look up 2g eclipse they list that hood as a bolt on..
-
sorry guys but i have decided to buy the OEM hood, much cheaper, plus i really dont want to go through all that if the hood will not fit, ( shipping it back and all that crap )
i guess the EVO hood will remain a mistery, unless one of you have the balls to buy it, i sure dont!

I'm gonna save the money and get it! I'll be the tester, but i just got to save up the money!

Matt you dealt with the guys at Erac1ing, does this guy resemble any of them?

Funny thing, i just tried to go to their sight and it's no longer available. erace1ng.com i believe.
I'm still looking for a cf evo hood for our rides.
-
hell, i'd be satisfied with just a plain old oem c/f hood.
Anybody want to sell theirs?
I'm buying
-
u just want an evo style hood .. guess ill have to make it..
-
You can buy Evo hood vents for cheap, just cust a whole and mold it in, people do it all the time. Just wont be cf. Once you get it molded you could always have someone cover it in cf or have someone make a mold for a cf hood https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif
-
yea exept i dont know how to mold.. if i do go that route ill learn it..
-
I eventually want a OEM style C/F hood. The heavy ass OEM hood would be a decent weight reduction for the front.

my sentiments exactly
-
Its weired man...I have pondered why the 7g OEM hood is soo heavy? My GVR4 and even my g/f's 8g hoods are lighter by not a little..but a very obvious difference in weight. Oh well...I still want a C/F hood eventually 8)

They told me that they use the random evo hod pic casue it is easier to mantain the website. they said once you buy it they will email you pics. but since they get them from Seibon their having a carbon fiber shortage. Its being used for military only (the same wit VIS). So their out of stock.
SO they do actually make one 4 our cars
P.S.
all new carbon fiber will sport the bigger weave pattern, brcause something about the "new" carbon fiber can't woven as tightly.
-
ok since we are talking carbon fiber and evo's...
Does the stock Evo VIII wing have a true CF wing, or is it wrapped. I haven't seen one myself, idon't know anyone with one, and don't get by the dealership often. I've got something in mind i want to do.

I am not sure if the oem one is cf but be careful for look alikes the oem one has the screws in the middle of the side peices the look alikes have them on all four corners
-
Real OEM Evo 8 and 9 rear wings are 100% carbon fiber. Even the side posts are C/F..just painted over.
-
Well i was looking around this post and went to streetconcepts.com. When i went there i went to the carbon fiber hood and on it, it said, discontinued. So it probably was b.s. But someone has told me about a company in switzerland that supposedly makes them. Apparently they made a mold for it and the sell 2 versions on thats carbon fiber that takes a year to get basically and one that they mass produce. So i dont know, ill check up on it and tell you guyz if its true.
