Called Jtran for a quote but they said Seibon didn't make that hood anymore. Needless to say I was crushed. So I searched the internet and found lots of places I could purchase online. I also read about counterfeit issues so I contacted Seibon directly and it turns out the hood was not discontinued. I ordered direct from one of their distributors and it shipped in about 3 weeks.

The first decision was where I wanted the latches:

I like the vertical more than the horizontal orientation; it just fits more aesthetically and flows with the body lines. Then I had to figure out where to attach the pins. I read through this thread:
Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood Questions (Many thanks to BlackZeda for the help) and decided to place them next to the OEM latches where the rubber bumper rests:
