Im not too sure if u need pins in the hood for carbon fiber....a lot of guys here have CF hoods without pins. Having said that, if your planning to go with a fiberglass hood, if u feel the CF would need pins, the FG will need pins as well. Seibon's fitment is very good. They have VSII style hood which is similar to the duraflex hood u posted. Guaranteed better fitment than duraflex.

Also the price you see on their website is the same price JRP will sell it to you.

Seibon has good quality and you should not have any fitment issues

Lots of good seibon reviews on the forum

Yes they do, anything 15mm and lower wont work. I currently have 20mm bolt-on up front on my car, no issues.

I think it will work,its just that extra bolt that is in the way and apparently its only there to keep anyone from installing the rears on the front,i just have to remove it and throw it away?
