Pictures of the Seibon (mixture of iphone/camcorder pics):



Close ups of the gap. The second pic makes it look pretty bad, but it's almost perfect:




Close up of the gap near the driver's door. The weatherstripping is the rubber that you see.


Fitment at the windshield.


and the driver's side latch issue. You can see where I drilled out the latch a little to let it bolt to the top so i can use both screws:

I have only seen the inside of the mugen and it is a matte finish.But both wet and dry applications result in that classic matte finish. The wet is the result of peel ply, bleeder, and breather that as im sure you all know are v bagged all down on top of each other. The pre preg on the other hand is matte beacouse of the lack of resine on the interior of the product. I would image that the high end companys would pre preg cuz of the less labor intensiveness issue but dont quote me on it.
