Seibon CF hood with stock vent...

is it possible to fit my stock vent to this hood. The one on it is not that great and id like to get the one off my stock hood on it w/o too much drilling butchering. Thanks

the vents on the stock hood is smaller than the one on the seibon. you can try. but you might have to modify to make it fit. goodluck

I had the stock vent on my cf hood when i had one.I used the metal plate thats under the hood and sandwiched the cf hood with the vent on top and the metal on the bottom.Hard to explain but when you take the stock vent apart you'll see what i mean.

wow im amazed that your stock vent fit to be honest viz and seibon come with there own vents of a different size so i guess you got lucky with your hood or you got a orginal before they changed it up a bit

You dont want to add weight to that hood because they are easy to crack, there are tons of cracked ones on evoM. I dont own a carbon hood thogh, I just think its worth lookin into.

didn't know you already had one. thought you were looking to buy one. if you've already got it, then keep it. if anyone's looking to buy one, i wouldn't recommend it. that's all i was getting at because seibon is complete trash, and so is VIS. not every brand sucks. just those two.
