From Taiwan - got my CF hood, but has cracks...
After a long wait and travel across the Pacific to Taiwan, I finally received my Seibon VSII hood, fenders, and Blitz spoiler (the spoiler traveled the Pacific twice - from Japan to Cali to Taiwan). I opened the box with excitement, then noticed cracks at the left side of the hood. My bodyshop said the cracks could be covered by paint. With CF hood being a rarity here and the shop does have much experience dealing with CF, could somebody give me some pointers? The bodyshop also said a painted CF hood is easier to get rock chips, is it so?
BTW, Seibon and Blitz quality is excellent.
I will be installing the parts and quad exhaust tips in the next few weeks.

Where in Taiwan are you located?
CF hoods are pretty common in TW Piao-Che crowds nowadays. Look up "Hong Jang" or "Hong Hsing" .... they are in the outskirts of Taipei. These companies are known of CF products. The hood can be fixed by opening up the cracks and filled with clear resin. Low grit sand paper, then buff ot shine. Good luck!

I was in Hong Kong for about a month during August and the whole time there I saw only 1 Super Black A/T 350Z. Some girl was in it talking on the phone parked on the side of the street in Kowloon. Also, correct me if I am wrong but Taiwan doesn't get the G35 coupe (Skyline). For the common man the streets are still filled with Hondas, Suzuki, and Nissans like the March and X-Trail....oh yeah the scooters...don't forget the sea of scooters. I think the human to scooter ratio in in Taipei is like 1:2.

Besides, Taiwan does have G35 Coupe.

In Taiwan, they also had a large VQ35 club call "555 club". Stand for Fx35, M35, G35/C. and many of them got supercharge.
