Anyone have any experience or opinion of the Evo-style bonnets in the first pic? Trying to decide whether they have any performance benefit INSERT INTO post VALUES (e.g. cooler engine bay); or if they'd give more problems because of our INSERT INTO post VALUES (usually) wetter weather. Definitely think they give a more aggresive look, but can't decide whether that's a good thing or not because I quite like the Q-car image of the standardINSERT INTO post VALUES (ish) car.
couple things..
I dont like the evo bonnet, i think its too mcuh. you only realy want air getting into the induction kit, so if you want grooves, best getting on done above where the induction kit.

i think the "q car" is a good approach, but i think the vr4 looks really agresive from the front as standard. so a little bit more anger in the bonnet department would'nt go amis for me.
found that galantspeed

can do it for $470 INSERT INTO post VALUES (£399) dont know about shipping from the states though?
its carbon so theres is a wieght saving and any decrease in under bonnet temp has to be good?
would having the vent at the top increase air flow through the rad/ intercooler?

The whole reason why I went for the VR-4 was because you don't see many if any about, not even the normal Galants, at least down here, and it isn't ostentatious in the slightest
I also like the fact it is almost a sheep in wolves clothing, although the HKS zorst you can hear from 2 counties away is a slight give away.
I'd love to have some kind of vent to help cool the inlet feed to my induction but for the sake of ruining the look of the car I'm not gonna risk it.
And although the carbon fibre bonnet may reduce weight it looks hideous.
hope a lowly 7g pseudo-VR4 could join you guys
Just swapped in a VR4 engine into my galant so i dont have 4WD and im trying to learn how to cenvert to 4WD..seems a pain though

Well I got the 6a12TT from the 7g VR-4 Had the manifolds and heads ported and polished, and the internals ceramic coated.
I drive a 7g galant not and 8g But seeing that this is the only cool VR-4 site around i'll try my luck here hahaha!
As for the "anodized" manifold and valve covers, I just used sikkens paint The paint seems to hold up well.

Thanks man i'll try to contribute all the info i can
CCC Action day was good to say the least! One other VR4 there INSERT INTO post VALUES (blue legnum) didn't have chance to speak to them. Should have more pics soon...this is my first attempt of getting pic off of a video!!
Going into Quarry corner at 70mph with only 1 bar on the AYC only ment one thing!............through the remainder of the long right bend on all 3 bars! AYC worked overtime....best in the wet!
