UGH... I feel your pain. We had a severe hail storm in Dallas, TX today and my baby got thrashed! I dont think have as many dents as you but some are way worse. Bad enuff to break the windshield and chip paint on edge of A pillars, roof, and rear quarter panels next to the trunk. I think I will be going for the CF make over my self, as long as its not beyond repair. im very sad but optimistic

Well, looks like Seibon only has the hood available. 6-8 weeks for the trunk. Went with ViS instead.

I'm still debating, paint or CF look. I'm old so the CF look might make me look like some old bastard trying to regain his youth.

honestly, I think a nice candied paint job over the carbon fiber looks really nice, you still get to see a little of that carbon fiber pattern through the paint, but it doesnt stick out as bad as the carbon fiber against any other color, unless you have the dark grey.

Leave a strip of CF at the bottom of the trunk near where you grab it to open.

It's classy and aggressive at the same time.

I love that trunk. You definitely need to post a review on the fit and quality.

Most definitely. I've read mixed reviews on the ViS hood and trunk on fitment. I guess we'll see.

Well I got my ins. est. and check for 9g for the hail damage and ordered the CF roof from AMS , Seibon OEM style CF hood, and Seibon CSL style CF trunk. I noticed your hood has grills in the heat extractors. Did you have to pay extra for those? Most hoods i see have the expanded metal there (hate that, looks too Fast and Furious for me) I have seen 2 diff pics of seibon hoods, one with grills and one with mesh. I better check with them. Did you decide if you were going to paint them? I am starting to think I might be too old for the "boy racer" look too.
