A common misconception in the racing world it that in order to make a car go faster, you need to have a lot of horsepower. Although this concept is true, it is not the only factor in making a race car. A common area overlooked is the importance swapping the Mitsubishi Eclipse Hood. Changing the stock hood to an aftermarket Carbon Fiber can be rewarding in almost any situation.
Carbon Fiber Hoods are one of the easiest modification you can do to your eclipse. It can be accomplished in very little time, adds significant improvements for multiple reasons, and does not cost all that much. So of course adding a new Carbon Fiber Eclipse hood is not going to make you an 11 second car, but it does help improve a number of different areas that are necessary for building an ultimate race car. When under heavy use, the engine temperature of your Eclipse increases. This higher temperature does not allow the engine to run to its full potential. Drag Cars and Road course cars need to keep engine temps cool. Cool air entering the engine's combustion chamber aids in better fuel combustion to produce max HP. Eclipse Carbon Fiber Hoods help keep engine temps down by absorbing engine heat and dissipating it throughout the Eclipse hood. Also, vented Carbon Fiber Eclipse Hood allows hot air to escape and cool air to enter, benefiting the Eclipse engine even more.
In addition to this concept, an Carbon Fiber Hood weighs less than the stock Eclipse hood. By eliminating excess front end Eclipse weight, the carbon fiber Eclipse hood lets the Eclipse accelerate faster, brake harder, and handle better through the turns. Your Eclipse will feel lighter as it is hitting the finish line. Add style, appearance, and performance, easily at an affordable price.
