no one has a seibon hood?
still waiting from a response from DriveLineSales. My hood didn't come with the 4 bolts needed to mount it to the factory brackets.
Is that normal or did I get screwed??

my brother was trying to install my seibon CF hood today and he said the stock hood has 4 bolts which the CF hood does not have. He said he can't take the bolts out of the OEM hood either.
was my seibon hood suppose to come with some bolts or is this something im suppose to buy?

We got mine out just fine when I bought Shawn's hood.

he was saying the CF hood does not have those 4 bolts and the bolts in the OEM hood were tack welded or something so he couldn't get them out....
a guy is coming to pick up the oem hood on saturday from Alabama so if my brother doesnt figure it out before then, i'll just have him get some double threaded bolts to fit the CF hood. i'm just pissed because it was suppose to be a direct replacement hood. they dont advertise anything about changing bolts...
on the bright side, my CE28N's will be mounted and balanced and the tein flex coilovers installed this weekend. I'm not posting any pics until I get the entire car painted matte white though....

That sucks man.
Did chris get in touch with you? I forwarded him the email and PM.
Damn, you're getting it repainted?
i wish i was there to see myself but he said the oem hood has 4 bolts sticking out which slide into the stock brackets and then 4 nuts secure it to the car.

well im still saving for the paint job. I'm going for that lambo matte/pearl white... kind of hard to explain but once you see it, you will understand... I've got 1k saved for it so far.
i dont want my nismo to be like every other nismo on the streets.
after these installs and paint, i wont get anything else until i can afford TT again. once you go FI, you never go back....
