Anyone buy a great carbon hood and trunk? I need a new carbon hood and trunk and I was wondering if you were pleased with the product. Was also interested in who you bought it from. I don't need dry carbon high dollar stuff, just plain stock looking evo hood and trunklid.
Thanks
Ron

 

We use and sell the Seibon stuff with good results. We even have their dry carbon parts on our Race car. The hood and trunk fit pretty well as far as carbon fit goes.

I dont have many pics but you can find some of the dry hood and trunk installed here. They are the same fit for both dry and normal style.

I hear alot of people complain about seibon parts, but I have no issues with it. I have used seibon on my past vehicles and never had any issues. Anything carbon fiber I end up getting extra coats of clear coat just to be safe. You might check out www.hopupracing.com
They are a good company and sell products at great prices. I hope that helps you out buddy. Oh and all of hopup's products have free shipping. I love it.

 

I rock seibon never had any issues

 

x2 but a lot of ppl do complain about and like vis more.

 

i have a Seibon hood and trunk. The hood is OK but the Trunk is junk, should of sent it back. the fitment is off and there is some kinf of warping on the corners. i just need to fix my factory trunk after someone decided to shoot it with a BB gun.

 

I have a Seibon hood fitment is perfect

 

SEIBON IS CRAP. plain and simple all my vis, T-rex, ait racing, nrg carbon parts are pefect on my evo and 350z the one seibon part i have my hood on my 350z came to me preyellow lol and its getting worse crap product i will replace with the vis version of the hood. now the fitment on the hood was great at least just not glad how its turning out. my vis cf trunk on my evo is straight and i bought it used.

 

I disagree Sorry!!!!

No yellowing after 2 years so far unlike the VIS I had on my Integra that was yellow in no time and fitment is spot friggin on. I have no complaints at all and at 450 shipped I'm more then happy with my purchase

 

450 shipped? Where from?

 

CVR they are a Vendor here. I'm on the east coast too so I don't know if that helped the price at all. I know it was at my house in a few days though

 

disagree all you want will not change the fact company is crap. Majority of folks on here will agree with my assessment of them. Its not just me and i have a crap hood to prove it. so im glad yours was ok but they are extremely hit or miss company and not worth it to chance for anybody and if anybody ask I will not recommend them. CVR is the one that sells seibon hoods for 425 shipped for the person that asked.

 

Hmmm I made my decision based on the forum feedback and real life cars I have seen with these hoods on.

I'm sorry yours didn't work out. Mines been perfect for 2 years now no yellowing oh and my car isn't even garaged, the hoods exposed to all elements 24/7 365 . Guess I got lucky. It's about time

Hell even if I have to reclear it down the road. I can deal with that.

 

Well you got a lemon then good job

 

Maybe it was molded on monday :lol.
