I know typically carbon fiber parts have poor fit. But somehow Carvs managed to get a Seibon carbon fiber hood with great fitment. It has the hood vents and everything. And I think he only paid $600.

i paid 750 for my seibon and it fits great... i think only parts from ****ty companies have issues...

main topic... if yo cant get a blue one...get that RR hood and just get a paint job, it will still be cheaper than a new one...

Yip i had a seibon CF hood aswell and loved it. The fitment was really good to until a lady backed into me lol, but i wouldnt trade the OEM hood for anything as its one of the best hoods ive seen.

Also think of resale value when you trade it in or sell it. They would want the OEM instead of a aftermarket hood, you willl just end up scrambling to find one later on.

It's funny how before... having a carbon fiber hood was seen as a benefit... and now it's heavier than the stock hood.

I think if people prepared the hood the way carvs did... a person buying the car may not even notice the difference. lol

Tell me about it. I think cars just hate me. I've never had problems on bikes!

For those who dont know...I hit a raccoon or some other animal last summer, it cracked up my front end, damaging the intercooler. Sigh...this car costs too much.
