Holy crap that hood is cheap....... kinda scary cheap. Makes me wonder if any of the hood latches and stuff will fit properly.

May have to look into this. Probably single sided carbon and fiberglass underside.
I'm going to look into it too, because that will probably be my next purchase. Let me know if you find out anything!

yeah, I emailed both VIS and Sioban today to see what the scoop was with their parts...

I think Sioban is fiberglass under pannel for the same price as VIS, so i'm under the assumption that it isn't 100% fiberglass which seems to be reflected in the pricing.

Im waiting to hear what weights they come back at me with too.

got a reply from Seibon

Hello,



Our parts are made with 100% carbon fiber. Our standard wet carbon fiber parts have a fiberglass support. The weight of our OEM style hoods is right around 18 pounds while our trunks weigh in at 12 pounds.

There are various hoods listed on ebay right now with a range of prices. VIS and Siebon. 18 lbs isn't too bad. Maybe they just aren't selling and people are trying to get rid of them?
