george604 · 05-10-2009, 04:03 PM

heres some pics

Looks good! Can you please give us some weight figures. Stock vs CF!!
also hows the quality, fit finish...........

george604 · 05-10-2009, 06:37 PM

id have to say the weight difference is about 20 lbs, the fit was ok but like i said i massaged it a bit and got it lookin good(ie. unbolted fenders and pushed them in a lil ) not a big deal tho, install took like an hour by myself. finish is very good all the weaving is even and no blemishes

Alec693 · 05-10-2009, 07:39 PM

where'd you get it from?

1speedbike · 05-10-2009, 07:41 PM

Looks nice, especially with the black roundel. Just curious, any reason to not also do the black roundels on the wheels?

george604 · 05-10-2009, 10:21 PM

ordered from www.designoautohouse.com
i have my forgestars on order so didnt bother changing roundels on wheels

arok · 05-10-2009, 10:44 PM

yours fits a lot better then lucas'

Garduna · 05-11-2009, 12:31 AM

God damn that Seibon CF Hood looks fabulous!

Just out of curiousity, why didn't you get the GTR-style Hood instead?

george604 · 05-11-2009, 12:52 AM

i like the subtle look, from 4-5 feet baway u cant even tell its cf, u gotta do a double take

arok · 05-11-2009, 01:13 AM

one thing, it looks like yoru roundel doesn't fit the indentation on the hood.. or it's off center

george604 · 05-11-2009, 01:38 AM

ya that was me tired, i fixed it but pics were from day one

Ryan@IND · 05-14-2009, 09:44 AM

looks real good! I like the subtlety of the OEM style, keeping it clean

adrean8j · 05-14-2009, 10:35 AM

Can we get a shot of the car from farther away?

Mega Man · 05-28-2009, 11:42 PM

Love the hood. The subtle way is the way to go!

Question: it looks like the hood has a gap between it and the headlights. Is this correct? I don't recall if the stock hood has that large of a gap.
