Default Siebon TS hood.

Ok I'm sure several cars on this board have this hood, currently I've got Stillens SC carbon but I'm looking for a change. The finish on my hood is beautiful unlike some hoods I've seen up close, feed back on the TS hood is greatly appreciated. Also do the vents direct water on the belts ect. Since it's not a real daily driver I try not to get caught in any rain but sh*t happens. Also siebon claims it rubs the strut bar, thanks in advance.

As for the rain guards i can tell you that seibon does include rain guards for the hood im like 99% on that. I had a Seibon hood and the fitment is good on them and the finish likewise so i have nothing but positive things to say about seibon. Ive heard otherwise tho. I didnt know that it rubbed the strut bar tho...are you refering to the stock bar??

Comments would be good as im also looking to purchase this hood very soon as well.

I jsut got the Seibon TS hood and very dissappointed in the fitment + quality of the hood. the top vents will hit your battery and fluid covers. there are many tiny cracks around the edges of the vents. The hood is not flush on both fenders area. I was told by Seibon that they fixed all that last year, but I just got one and it's still the same. Many people reported crack near the latch after a while due to shutting down the hood. These problems happened to a few people that I talked to before buying the hood. But the damn hood looks so good though

No rain guard!!!!

Yes seibon claims the hood just barely touches the factory strut bar but is'nt an issue, one concern is you can never use a taller strut bar, but I agree with Phat Z, I've seen it on several cars in pics. and it does look very good. I wonder if Phat Z got one from and older batch, he should question that! What to do, what to do!
