got my Seibon VT hood at amazing price along with JIC strut bar and Pulley belt. Thanks to Darren for the smooth and professional transition.

I'm strongly recommend intensepower.com for anyone in need of mod parts. Can't go wrong with them. (unless D slack off and mess thing up..hehehe)

 

Take some pics and post them. Also if you don't mind....PM the price for the hood . Thanks.

 

better pic will post later.

 

good company. i've done two deals with them. good communication.

 

Looks kinda like kcobean's car but in blue. That means it looks awesome.

How much did it cost you to get that hood prepped/primed? I was considering doing this with the cf hood, but think it will be much easier (and cheaper) to just buy the veilside fiberglass hood and have it painted.

 

$300 to prime and paint.

V3 hood cost MOREEEEEEEE...like nearly 300 more compare to Seibon VT. with CF, they will need to sand off the clear coat and prime. Most body shop will not charge extra for it.

 

Agreed, Intense Power is great. I ordered my Veilside Version 3 when nobody had one in stock and Darren had one shipped to me that exact same day, couple days til it arrives still though.

 

Hmmm.. Strange. Most others that I've seen with painted CF hoods paid almost $1k just for the prep and paint. I talked to the body shop here and they said while the veilside hood cost more, I'd save money on the prep costs.

 

Darren is the man, and owns a 350Z so that is helpful... Also has great memory unlike many others I have dealt with

 

they just rip you off. the price should be in the range of $300 to $500. There is nothing more to do beside sand down the clear coat on CF.

 

+1
he def. has a great memory. he remembered me eventhough i haven't bought anything from him in months.

 

i don't know what you did but the guy keep asking me about you. lolz...

 

Bubble...that fitment looks good in the picture. I've seen a few Seibon hoods that did not line up right with front bumper. Yours looks good. Do you know if this was an issue Seibon had in the past and fixed? Any comments on fitment/install?

 

fitment/install is easy. The only problem i have is that i can't use my strut bar since i install the spacer on the plenum. IF you don't modify your plenum then everything else is ok. I am still not happy with the hood since the left still have some gap (just a bit) i guess i am just too picky when it come to color matching and bodykit fitment. I would strongly recommend Seibon VT over Velside 3 due to pricing (about $300 cheaper)

 

Please post more pics when you can....thanks for the info.......looks real good! Seems like you've done some big changes based on your avatar and some other posts I've read. Look forward to seeing it finished (is it ever?).

 

How would the fitment be with a plenum?

 

stock plenum: NO PROBLEM.

 

Hey Bubble, where in the bay did you get your stuff painted?

 

Tommy Auto Body (San Jose) -
(408) 573-7799

Talk to Gia (he is the owner)

James and other member here went there as my referral and they're happy about pricing and quality. They are expert in matching Z paint with modify body kit for Z now. Tell Gia that Alex refer you and he will take good care for you.

 

Hey Bubble my VT hood is going to be here next week, what was needed for install? I heard you need dif bolts for install, and can the gap be corrected , or is that a perm part?
