I have yet to see that hood in person, but I will vouch for Seibon's quality. CF is so hard to get nowadays and very expensive. They were smart and invested a lot into a huge shipment of cf so they're set. Their parts have always been great for the money imo.

Seibon is pretty hit-or-miss. The CF front lip I used to have fit great. But their hood (I have the TS-style) fits like crap.

check in the gallery. Like Scott said its a hit and miss. I heard more good feedback though on seibon than I have with any other CF producer. Id say go for it.

Willie Gee, SPRINGRATES, and Scott2000,
Thanks for the info

VolkGT-N and spider883,
Thanks for pushing me over the edge

After surfing awhile it seems the Seibons have a good rap - at least all the posts out there (different forums) so I will start shopping this weekend.

Again - Thanks people!

The Vis and Seibon trunks suk.

The hoods fit pretty well but you will need to monkey around with the bolts and risers to make the hood fit really well. Don't worry, the hood is very adjustable using the 4 bolting areas and the risers, you should be good to go.
