lol no offense but that is the worst hood in the history of bad hoods. :nod:

BullittSVT 12-30-2010 12:20 PM

Need a good wing and a new hood :)

How much did you pick it up for?

coolmanvette75 12-30-2010 12:36 PM

hate the hood. the rest looks good though

maroman88 12-30-2010 01:33 PM

needs a stock hood, new wheels and a spoiler... good luck

dont blow the welds on the manifold, or the floor pan might fall off

I've driven a few stock and lightly modded Evo 8's. Not my personal choice but fun cars nonetheless. Looks like the miles decently low for the year but always a little leery buying modded turbo cars with a healthy amount of work.

Have fun with it. Any plans?

Mike 12-30-2010 02:53 PM

i like it without a wing, but would love it with a hood with no vents...

yea? i think that bumper makes it look like a saggy old ass... the wing supported it and made the back look decent, now im no fan of ricer wings but these and the cobalt ss's and srt4's need them... its just the look

Mike 12-30-2010 04:47 PM

i could have it either way really... but i like it with no wing or a lip spoiler best

GrandmasterCow 12-30-2010 06:16 PM

i have the lip spoiler just not on yet. i don't have a wing yet but i'm back and forth about getting a stock one for it. some say the wing is a cop attractant, some say its not. car is lots of fun, just try to stay outta boost or my gas guage takes a dive. lol

Anti_Rice_Guy 12-30-2010 06:41 PM

Congrats! Neat, fun cars. Change the hood and maybe put on a lip spoiler and it'd be pimp

mc73nova 12-31-2010 02:27 PM

Good luck with it. A turbo car that you can drive in this winter weather, whats not to like!

ar0ck 12-31-2010 02:44 PM

Hoods can be swapped easily! I really like that generation Evo too just the way it is. Good luck!

GrandmasterCow 12-31-2010 05:02 PM

I have a lip spoiler just not on. I want to get the hood redone because clear coat is damaged, but right now might look for a stocker.

I have lots more pics plus I'll take some interior. I always loved these cars they have just been so difficult to find affordable.

baddest434 12-31-2010 05:14 PM

nice car, good luck with it. i wish you needed exhaust i have a turbo back exhaust hanging around. looks like the same one thats on your car.

Featherburner 12-31-2010 08:31 PM

Love the hood, it just seems to be missing something...

I dont think clear coat is gonna help that hood, dosent look like it was ever clear coated.
Edit: weres the pics of the ricer lights you were so proud of at the meet lastnight?

same thing happened to this hood that happens to the stock evo wings with the CF - peel and CC comes off and needs to be redone. if you look closer at the hood you'll notice some clearcoat in some areas still in tact but the hood needs to be redone. i am gonna look for stock hood for cheap cuz this hood might be expensive to i guess get done, not sure yet.

Nice car but ugly looking with that hood.. They are fun cars and they are cop attracting no matter what you do or dont do to them.. How much you pick it up for??

Yes but when cf isnt clear coated, which that one dosent look like it has been, UV radiation and exposure destroy the resins in it. In other words if you clear it its still not going to look like a new carbon fiber hood.
