token: "What did you expect? You bought it from ebay"

same rules apply. so from now on, none of you can deride people who buy ****ty products from Ebay and then complain about it!! can't be a hypocrite now. so, all parts on ebay need to be of the utmost quality no matter the fact you are buying it for a 10th of the cost

Motormouth these hoods are not a 10th of the price as the originals. We are not talking about a cai for $25 vs $250. We're talking about 650 vs 1-1.5k. There is a big difference.

you are right, it is a bigger percentage difference.

Top secret hood: 1705.00 + shipping (Bulletproof automotive)
Seibon TS2 hood: 650 shipped

difference in price: you save 62% ($1055.00)

Ebay CAI: 55 shipped
Fujita CAI 228.00 + shipping (MyNismo)

difference in price: you save 76% (173.00)

save 170 or save 1k? if you all want to compare apples to oranges (replica vs. authentic), do it for everything.

and just so I am clear, I am not happy that seibon hoods aren't great quality, but I am not naive to think there isn't a reason it is cheaper. From reading, carbon fiber parts are not easy to make in volume. it takes skill.

I think seibon should man up and start producing better hoods.

i got screwed over by seibon also. i bought a lip and i went over to seibon and they tried to fit a lip on my car. and the lip was off by like 3inches. they tried to force fit it and the lip was all cracked and they said it fits but not that well. It was #$$kin all bent and they said it fits. they wouldnt let me return the lip. i was $$%$ing pissed off. i thought they were famous, but they are extremely shady adn messed up. They got three nice mercedes there. I felt like bashing my crappy seibon lip on them for all the crappy product they tried to sell.


STAY AWAY FROM SEIBON!!!!!!!

Ive never dealt with such a horrible company in my life. I hope that company burns up in flames.
sorry thats how i feel about seibon!!!

im just venting cuz they ripped me off!!!

Not that I am saying that Siebon is all that great but, I don't believe a word of this fabrication. How you "force" a 3 inch gap?

If you don't believe it, buy some seibon products. Im not even gonna waste my time posting pictures up. Im just warning people. Im sure they have friends in the industry supporting them all over different car forums.

Its more then a handful of people who have problems with their products. Im one of them that got screwed over. If you dont believe what some of us say, then so be it and go buy yourselves some seibon parts at your own risk adn maybe youll get a good product and maybe you wont. And if you dont, goodluck buddy. Its like playing Russian rulet.

forced fit and the inner piece in the well is angled. looks like sh*t and lip is all cracked. on the outside, the lip stick out like 1.5 inches out more than the other because it does not fit correctly.
Dont buy Seibon
