Seibon carbon hood install PIX.

Finally received and spent last couple hours installing my seibon carbon fiber evo style hood. Was a little scared drilling holes in it for the rrm evo style cf grill but it was well worth it. Looks great. imo. Tell me what you think. In spring I think Im gonna get blacked out headlights, a cf trunk and cf evo wing as well to finish off the look. Sucks the car has to be so dirty, but I cant help that.

Thanks for all the positive feed back, been looking for a hood for a long time now and the seibon hood is awsome quality. very few imperfections in the weave. Bought it off of RRM and they got it to me in fairly quickly. Install went pretty good. A++ on the hood.

couple more pics of my car in the sun today. Winter sucks!

yes, My oz rims with studded snows are permanent winter set from now on. In feb. im buying some 17" enkie or52's, gunmetal with polished lip. Unless I find some I like better, I think they look great. Will match up with the carbon well also.

around that same time I plan to order a CF trunk lid and evo cf spoiler to finish my cf off, then add a ken style front bumper and that will probably do it for the exterior. If you know of a site with a good price on the trunk lid, id like to know. ive searched and everyone is asking like $650 for the trunk, im gonna buy the wing from cerious performance.
