Carbon Fiber Nightmare and SEIBON Carbon

Reaper42 · 06-13-2010, 10:41 PM

This is very good to hear since I just ordered a Seibon hood which i should be getting this week. I will be sure to check to see that the box is white with the logos on it, as well as the metal logo stamp. Anyway you can take some pictures and post them up tonight?

Just make sure you are getting a newer version of it. Do not get the older ones as those won't fit properly.

how would we know if it is the newer version.

New version , old version doesn't matter. All the boxes have been white with the logos for years now

350z owners still have issues with the TS hood for example and it's been out for years

either buy it locally or stick to better quality stuff in
the first place and you won't go wrong

yeah I remember I bought a TS hood for my 350z back when I had one. I only bought it because I got it used for ridiculously cheap, and my stock hood was bent. That piece of sh*t didn't fit right AT ALL. That was a complete turn off for me to their products. I was so po'd I just sold it and used the bent/chipped OEM hood, lol.

I just put this hood on my car, the fit is perfect, I did have to make the wholes for the rubber bumpers bigger, and I just used 3m double stick for the rubber seal around the front for two missing holes, and the two that didn't line up, havn't put the sprayers on yet, I am ordering new ones for the hood, and if the hood is too thick for the pins to lock, I will glue them in, Most importantly to me is the gaps and seal of the hood and how it sits on the car, it looks and fits awsome, Also I shot my hood with a two part polyeurothane clear coat that has uv absorbers and blockers to prevent yellowing and fading, let you know how it works out.
