Waiting in the garage to get installed. Thank to Moe at Speed Image in Colorado. Waiting on the rear lip.

Seibon TS CF Hood:

 

I want one! Hope yours will fit properly¨!

 

Thanks. I sure it will fit. Its Seibon, not e-bay.

 

I just put mine on too... a 10min install turned into a 2 day ordeal of grinding and aligning. I hope it fits properly, lol.

 

Seibon??? I've owned Seibon before w/o problems.

 

maybe youve missed a few threads about this specific hood by seibon having issues?

jim@showstoppers said the new ones were fine because of new molds, but who knows if you got one from the new molds or not.

 

There are none left from the old mold. The new ones still run into clearance issues with some strut bars, but hope for the best !

Great looking hood !

Jim

 

Well this was directly from Seibon. Hopefully I did get a new mold. Guess we'll find tonight. (Bites nails) LOL

 

Does the new mold clear strut brace with plenum spacers washers?

 

Just got mine on today. Problem now is, I don't know a good way to mount the AeroCatch Hood Latches. Trying to get somebody to put some pictures of theirs on the forum or pm me some pictures, so I can see where the cut is being done. Then I'll be finished. No issues with the hood at all, fit like a charm, same as the NISMO CF Spoiler. Bought both from Jim at Showstoppers and you can't go wrong. If anybody on this thread has pictures of their under hood cut, mounted and the studs mounted, please pm them to me. Thanks for that also, it would really be appreciated.

 

No hood latches/pins for me.

 

I'm doing the flush mounted darkgrey/black type. No pins sticking up, etc. Looks very natural, but also good re enforcement to give added strength to the hood. Don't want it coming up on me at 65 "---"mph unexpectedly, as I had read on other posts. Saw the pictures on them, and they're very nice looking too. Not the old silver pin in the air type.

 

That's my favortie hood. Still waiting to see if they make something very silimar to this for the '07+'s.

Only been waiting about 6 weeks now for '07+ pics

 

+1

 

yeah i recommend you get hood pins or aerolatch cause my cf hood popped opened on frwy doing like 80 and it pulled out left and right fenders, smashed windshield, and put a big *** dent in my roof. thank god my insurance covered everything.

 

Seibon hood???

 

any CF hood!

 

Owned a Seibon hood before w/o any problems on my Evo 8. Reach speed 130+.

 

yeah it was a seibon oem hood for my 06 z. i had it for less than a week and this happened to me. i had a cf hood for my previous car without pins and this never happened to me. so be safe and get hood pins or the new aerolatch system
