Default Seibon MG hood vs J's CFRP

Hey guys

I have a damaged J's racing v-style hood that needs to be replaced and Im since I live in a very rainy area I was wondering if the Seibon knock-off has provisions for the rain protectors. I have the set for the J's hood. Im trying to save a little cash by going with the seibon. I know it ruins my JDM theme but cash is cash. Thanks for the help.

If you're so concerned with water issues why are you getting another vented hood?

thanks for the help with my question....I want a vented hood for track and summer use. With the rain protectors (that I already have) its not a problem. Does anyone have the seibon hood and have rain protectors?

As much as i dont want to promote sale of a knock off hood....

If you can find me a pic of the under side of a seibon, i can tell you if the J's vents can be made to fit.

Well Im going to call the place I ordered from and try and cancel the order for the seibon hood. Despite the sharp edges on the J's hood I do really like that it is genuine. Not to mention I know everything fits. J's, do you guys have a CFRP V-style in stock?
