should I buy this Seibon hood?
i personally think that hood is ugly unless painted for 100 its steal better reclearcoat it as seibon has a bad rep for using cheap clear coat and hood yellowing. for 100 i would buy it and paint it WW minus the vent here you go a teaser shot for you
for only $100, go for it. like rock said, reclear, or paint it ASAP. Seibon is junk. if it were any more than that, i'd say stay away from it. good luck with it, post pics when you get it.
yo WTF cold air intake!
lol you guys are blowing it out of proportion. The intake in the pic was a joke for a track day. Not my car but my friends. Just messing around guezz evo owners dont ask questions anymore just comment

I have had two of those hoods and I would steer clear.
reason being is the hood vents right over the motor are not very big and are also blocked by a thicker mesh than a stock one. What this does it hold in heat longer. The heat coming off your manifold gets transferred onto your hood through I think convection and then it stays much hotter under the hood.
Also if you go to wash your case somewhere after you have been driving for a while the hood will crack due to the cold water being put onto the hood when it is still hot.
I had Vivid replace my hood under warranty (90 days on all the hoods) because it cracked like that. I am on my third Seibon hood and now moved the OEM one and not had it crack at all.
