I'm pretty sure the VIS Evolutions are available for the Mitsubishi Mirage!:goodjob:

is ur cf hood the same as what extreme dimensions sells? do you know where else i can get it for a cheaper price?
No, extreme dimensions doesn't carry VIS hoods, that's what I went with the VIS Invader. The hood your looking at looks like the ED Type Monster Style "faded" Hood on a sixth gen sedan; if it really is carbon fiber I would like to know where it from and who is selling it. Extreme only carries those for the fifth generation/coupes + sedans. I'm flippin man, those hoods look tight as @%#* on the sedan + coupes/ :barf: on the quality though. Who carries the ED Type Monster Style for the 6th gen sedan in carbon fiber, I wish I knew bro? I would sport one! :thumbup: But you can bet your @$$ that a body shop is gonna have to paint it, looks like it fades quite nicely.
You get what you pay for. Get a Grade A/or AA UV protected carbon fiber hood. Don't go cheap when it comes to hoods. As you can see the Vis hoods came out much cleaner but the hood your looking at get's mucho style points.

You have expensive taste bro! The VIS hoods are better quality.

The only one I could find for your car was fiberglass!

let me clear something up.... is the first car urs or does it just look like yours? also what u mean by monster faded? do you mean those monster style cf hoods extremedimensions sell fade over time? I am pretty sure they sell those for 6gen sedan/coupe, but they just didn't list all the applications.

I'm sure I said it "looked like my car for a second" have the same projectors with a vis invader hood ok. As for the ED Monster hood I said "faded" because it looked faded on the black sedan in the first pic. I was merely implying that VIS makes a more quality hood when it comes to UV protection. Compare the pics of the two brands and you tell me what's up. I'm wondering why you asked who makes invader and why you posted the invader hoods in the first place. :thinking:

I have a CF hood but I think the invader hoods are nasty looking.

I got my VIS OEM used off a buddy for 200 flat and all I had to do was shoot some clear coat on it and it is mint

That price isn't too bad at all because I know average for the 5th gen is about 300 - 350 and I have seen as high as 430 locally.

OK OK..
the frist two car are mine!!!It used to be IS300 gunmetal, now it's M5 Blue.. IT is the monster style hood.. and it is Carbon Fiber. And no the hood is not faded..I personally think the hood on the coupes are too sharp.. I go this hood like a year ago..and paid a pretty penny because only one warehouse had it.. R1 makes a similar style, Aero Duo, And C-Wings.
