    This is a magnetic hood mask from autocityimports.com. This will prevent your hood from getting any chips especially when doing alot of freeway/highway driving. Installation was very easy and I was actually pleasantly surprised with how it looks..

    I'm not a fan of traditional nose masks at all but this one is very sharp looking and has me reaching for my charge card, thanks for posting.

    i would rather get a full bra since it'll protect the whole front... and of course, i'd only use it on long drives (like my drives from ft lauderdale > orlando > gainesville and back... etc.)

    No, we have no plans on offering a full mask. I am pretty sure Mitsubishi offers a full front mask for the 08 lancer already, but we do not carry OEM manfacturer parts. Sorry

    make a carbon fiber look-a-like for the hood...and also for the trunk...that would be sick...instead of buying a whole cf hood...

    just a suggestion though

    exactly what i was thinking
    it would be AWSOME ...make like a fake carbon fiber hood with a reverse cowl on it out your matereal....3 400 bucks vs 3 4 grand

    Anything could be done but i don't think anyone would ever buy that. It would look pretty ugly.

    And as far as darklancer saying 3-4k for a hood? Not sure what hood your talking about but we have full carbon hoods on our site for about a 6th of that price. Carbon hoods anywhere from $600 - $800 depending on what style your looking for.

    We have 3 diff style hoods for the 08 Lancer...please show us a link about what hood you are looking for and i will see what i can do about making it available for you at a price much cheaper then $2800.

    now i know that this isnt exactly an easy shot to make a hood from but you get the idea... this is what i took to the shops here and they said that they could make one for about 2800 the other store said 2900 and yes i know its not a lancer

    lol...you never mentioned anything about making a custom hood from a photshop design. I thought you were looking for a real hood for the 2008 Lancer. Looking off another car or photshop/drawing and saying “I like this hood make it for the car I drive†will cost you big $$ no matter where you go.

    I personally don’t think anyone would be seriously interested in this hood style for their 2008 Lancer but just for the sake of not completely bashing your vision…if you get 5 people that say they would be interested in this hood (or any hood for that matter) and all willing to put down full payment upfront (roughly $600 per hood) Then we could have it made. It would take about 6-8 weeks and would be manufactured in the U.S.

    Yea...we can do a few things. Pretty limited to exterior aero parts. (Body kits, spoilers, fenders, hoods, etc)

    wow 600 thats awsome now 5 people ...hmm lol

    yea i know its alot more dificult lol hence why maybe a fake one would be cheaper and possibly easier...at least that was my line of thought u would prolly now better

    ooo cool cool how would making a full lip for the front bumper would that be to much to ask? im sure a lot of people would be interested in that. RRM said they were coming out with one but im not sure how thats even going bc they seem pretty busy with the turbos and such.

    It is something we will look into down the road a little bit. As of now the 08 lancer is so new not much aftermarket stuff is moving so a few months down the road we will see how the body kits are moving and see where the demand for new products seems to be. I agree a lip kit would be great for this car...it is something i will look into for you guys soon enough.
    :D
