Re: my new seibon hood!

Looks pretty good. Have you thought of doing a stripe of the white on the sides. Like in between the factory body line and the seem with the fender. Oh.. and -1 rep if you put eye lids on it.

Re: my new seibon hood!

well during every day use the hood will flex and vibrate alot which could over time cause the carbon fiber top to separate from the skeleton and fly up and smash your windshield being that the hood is two pieces.

Re: my new seibon hood!

agreed, lowlife. the CF light weight is prone to lifting at high speeds also causing stress on the latch. my buddy who owns a shop and recommended pins said in some cases the hood will reach high enough to smash the roof in.

pins were cheap insurance. anyone have any bad experiences?
