Default seibon hood

Does anyone who has the seibon carbon fiber hood have any good comments about it? Fitment issues? And any pictures would help too. I think I'm going to be purchasing the seibon ts style hood and the nismo v.2 front bumper after all of my looking around.

here ya go...I used the search function with "Seibon"
https://my350z.com/forum/search.php?searchid=1791396

I can tell you from personal experience they are probably one of the best US manufactures or carbon fiber parts. I use to carry other large name companies but had too many complaints about fitment, weave, and clear coat. Thats not the case with Seibon. I haven't had a single complaint about fitment or anything else. Hope that helps.

Does it have a hump (as in is it a little raised in the middle) then the OEM? I'm thinking of getting that hood and like the vents but not liking hoods that has a hump.

Has engine noise in the cabin increased significantly with a vented hood like that?

Those vents don't hurt the engine at all with rain and everything being able to get into the engine bay?

the only issue with the rain would be if you have a pop charger (which my injen is in that position) but it has never gotten even barely wet... i have been concerned about it tho, no problems so far
