Carbon Fiber Hood question

drisko · 05-28-2010, 04:41 PM

I'm considering getting a CF hood and I wanted to know if any of you who have the ViS or Seibon CF hood could let me know if the hood has the correct holes for all 3 latches, the windshield washer lines, and the rubber "seals" that go around the whole front and sides.

I guess a high-res pic of the underside of the hood would answer the question as well.

Thanks.

Would you like a lobster dinner to go with that?

What was that? Some of us are not as informed as most people... I would like to know as well.

Better to get all question answered before spending 500~1000 dollars on a hood.

I am also in for the answer....It is going to take someone to pick up the phone and call the campanies their self and also let them know there is a whole forum of folks here that would like to see some pic of the underbelly. I would like to get the GTR hood at some point.

******MMMMM Lobster

This is the only underside shot I could find for a 370z carbon fiber hood. This is the Seibon GT-R 370z hood:

Wow quick response time Dreamer. Still leaves a bunch of unanswered questions. I will call next week if no one else does. Maybe someone knows another person on the forum with these hoods and shoot them a PM.

I PM'ed AJ@ECSMotorsports, since he's the sponsor that started the thread on the Seibon hoods. Maybe he knows. If I hear back, I'll post the reply here.
