    Re: The Dude's Lancer: CF HOOD BABAY!

    Ok guys im a lil concerned today. This is my first aftermarket hood, and my first vented hood. My car is extremyl dirty and needs a bath. Im worried about the vents and the water that will fall in. Will anything happen to anything inside the engine bay? Any advice would be great. This problem is also a big thing with rain, should i be worried about it too?

    Jake, you got the Evo hood thats very simillar. Any tips?

    wow i really like this hood, its been getting more and more temping to go aftermarket carbon, but i really want to keep my lancer more "fortis" and less "evolution" style. but damn....the dude...its looking really good haha :p

    maybe the version of this hood without the center vent would match mine more? what do u think?

    Lancermike, to answer you're question is, after you wash the ride, always wax the CF goodies right after so it don't turn all yellow...

    So yea, Anyone know where to get a Lojack from, or some other form of security? I already have a clifford on there, but today my gf passed by my office and saw to wanna be thugs hanging around my car and scoping out the inside of it, most likely to try to break into it. Ive been through too fucking much with this car to hand it over to a pair of douchebags.

    Yea idk what it is with people checking out the lancers. I mean sure it's good that people like them but we don't need anything stolen. LoJack is a good form of security but i do not know how much it is to install and use. I do know it does have a high rate of success. The only problem is response time of the 5-0.

    Many of you are wondering what this post is about. I regret to inform you that i am officially done with my car. No, this is not a good thing. Yesterday afternoon, one of the wires from the newly installed amp, or the amp itself lit to flames while i was driving. The smoke immediately let me know something was going on. I got out the car and opened my trunk, and saw that there was a fire. I didnt have anything to put it out, and the smke nearly made me pass out. So i had to get away from my car. And slowly, very slowly, i watched as my car went up in flames. To be quite honest, i dont feel like its true. After the hard work i put into that thing. And now, it was all undone in a matter of minutes. You probably dont believe me. Well, im sad to say that it is true:
