hey i am looking to buy a CF trunk and hood for my 04.. just wondering which brand you guys think is the best, all ive seen for the trunk is ViS and Cerious.. anyone have some experience with this?? or know of a good site to get the parts from? Thanks ahead of time

 

Seibon if its available.

 

As amby said, out of the "cheaper" carbon fiber brands, Seibon is the best. I have seibon hood/trunk and cerious cf wing. Cerious has good stuff, at least my wing is great. I have no issues with my hood or trunk although the hood yellowed quickly. easily fixed with a re-clear tho.

 

seibon doesnt have for 04+

 

bummer. then I personally would go with VIS. Its really hit or miss with carbon fiber parts though, especially VIS/seibon, etc. Best thing to do with any part but especially carbon fiber is to inspect the part upon delivery and if its not up to snuff send it back right then and there.

 

I just installed my vis oem cf hood and it was flawless and the fitment was perfect. the hood was also protected very well when it was shiped.however I did have a problem with the window washer nozzles not fitting.

 

yeah, the washer nozzles is a usual issue. I had same problem. I chose the "cut up the nozzle" route although you could reem out the hole a bit. haha

 

Carbontrix also makes hoods.

 

i just recently bought a VIS carbon fiber hood for my 02 with vents and it took me 10mins to install it and the fitment was perfect! i am very pleased

 

when i had mine, the fit was really good, i'd say like 97% out of the box, then just some minor adjusting, the washer holes had to be filed out a little bit.


I'm about to order a seibon hood and lip for my G tho

 

thanks all!!
