My eyes hurt.

They are not the greatest for carbon hoods, you must be very careful when opening your hood if you have a carbon one as they will sort of just fling up and quite possibly crack the hood. They hold up well, and never had a problem with them when i had my S2000.

on are evo's the c/f hood is no liter then the stock. well the seibon is not. but people say they stress the hood and crack it. how i dont know. but does it happen up or down i dont no eather.

you CAN use them w/carbon fiber hoods. The brackets don't hook up to the hood itself, but to the steel hinges instead.

how is your hood holding up. meening fading cracking. im worried mine will do that. it is a day old. lol.

im going to pic them up as soon as i find a vendor that has them. thanks alot

Back to the original question...who sells them? I've yet to see a vendor here that sells them.

NocturnalEVO Jul 1, 2006 11:52 PM

no vendor sells them because they dont make them for an evo. You gotta buy a set for another car and modify the brackets to fit.
