His looks OK although it is hard to tell with the black fenders....But I know most of their hoods I've seen fit like shit. Haven't seen a hatch personally

Maybe on some, but alot I've seen are just way off. It isn't hard to line up a hood so I wouldn't see why people would ride around like that.

fitmet is ok, can't expect OEM fitness here. ( weight vs fitment battles) but think aobut it, it is on a new front with many variables to consider. it's not like i replaced just the hood. i think they could of done a better job at it but i also depends on the installer. i had to move everything around to cope with the hood. my conversion w/carbon hood is not a good review for fitmet in my opinion.

Seibon is NOT solid carbon fiber. It is laid over fiberglass so weight reduction isn't much of an issue. They weigh like 5lbs less than a metal hood

right the hood has too layer's of materials. top layer is carbon and under he carbon is fiberglass. the layers are only joined together at the edges. looks alot better then the hood that don't have the undercover(fiberglass). don't like the way sunlight can shine right though carbon hoods

I was just stating that it isn't hardly a weight reduction if it isn't solid C/F. It's pure cosmetic. My friend did a Seibon C/F lip and hood. We weighed it all and the C/F covered fiberglass lip and hood only weighed 6lbs less than the stock lip and metal hood. Consider a Benen carbon fiber hood alone weighed 24lbs less than my stock one. It consist of nothing but carbon, kevlar, and nomex honeycomb. And sun light doesn't shine through it. It uses 4,000 strands per weave

***********update**************

another step in my quest to make my real car the car I see in my dreams...

here i am installing my suspension.

trace proven setups from this company

PIC suspension -- Selects---10k f and 8k b




after about 4 hours of sweat and pain




time for a wash....



at the end of the day





i finally saved up enough money for a quality suspension set. rides awsome with setting on soft and no suspension movement when drag launching on hard. P.I.C. are worth the money to me.

to be painted soon....

to be continue
