Seibon is supposedly the best replica fitment of the CF products. Ive seen some good ones, but there always a few you see posted of bad ones.

Everyone knows how the saying goes...you get what you pay for.

I had a seibon hood on my car for a while. It looked good, and fit alot better than my VIS trunk did. The only problem I had with it was that the gelcoat cracked around the latch area. It didnt look bad unless you were right up on it.

Xecutioner has a Seibon hood on his car now I think. You should check it out at the next meet so you can see it in person.

I looked into this hood and went with the J's because of fitment and when you look at the bottom (back side) of the hood

i got all the different seibon hoods I used to fit just fine...you have to make adjustments at the anchor points and all the rubber bushings to make it look good...most people don't do all that


trunks...I have heard horror stories in general with ALL aftermarket CF trunks

Looking for CF for function or looks? Cause OEM isn't much heavier.
