Having owned one and witnessed two other Seibon hood installs, I would not buy from them again. fitment is trash on all 3 and I gave mine away eventually. side gaps are huge and they only will replace if the gap is over 1/2" and that is a ******* mile for body line space!

Ive called around the tri state area and haven't been able to find one. I think what I might end up doing is CF wrap on hood and gloss black wrap on roof to get that two tone look after all.

I just dont think painting is an option and I love my color too much to wrap the entire hood.

I got the fly1 terminal GT hood and have no issues with it fitment was pretty good was it OEM ..no but I don’t think any carbon hood will be. I would give it 9 out of 10 if I had to rate it
