...and yet another new product announcement--the Seibon "SC" carbon fiber hood! It is officially IN STOCK and will be ready to ship as of Friday. Pricing will be $540 before shipping.
No pics just yet, but this should give you an idea of what it looks like. I am hoping to receive actual product pics from my warehouse TOMORROW!
Don't forget! Any of the carbon fiber hoods that we offer can also be shipped along with a carbon fiber trunk lid as well at a discount price!
Hmm.. Might be nice for the V6 guys who decide to get a SC, not seeing a lot of benefit for the 2.0t unless you want to fab up a duct to cool your turbo or somethin.. Looks nice I guess though.
Well, I was just pointing out that if you want a front vent that air can flow into--and then out through vents in the rear, ARK's wouldn't be too far off. Of course, this is functionality-speaking here.
They can make it in fiberglass since the CF mold will also serve this purpose. Either way, why the need for fiberglass? (Just curious).
I do agree that the VIS Terminator is the best looking overall. After that, I'd opt for the Seibon SC.
Personally I prefer FG because a CF hood wouldn't look good with what I'm doing on my coupe, and FG is cheaper and easier to paint.
I know CF is paintable, but all the ones I've seen so far come with a nice clearcoat on them already and I'd hate to strip all that off to repaint, plus that costs extra, so FG hood can save a few $$$ with similar weights.
Apparently the bottom of the hood is molded wrong and it hits the engine on both the 3.8L and 2.0L Coupe! Seibon has to re-engineer the under-skeleton of the hood, so this model will not be available for another few months at the very least.
Don't make me snoop around behind the scenes or your site again..
Oh, and I noticed that right click thing you added right after I posted up a few of your M&S pics on the other forum. lol
The VIS hood is similar to the concept hood but not the same. The middle divider is far to big and the vents are placed higher up and angled differently.
Here are the VIS hood and concept hood for a side by side comparison:
huh, after looking back at the concept like this I'm not sure I like it as much as I used to... though I'm still surpised that someone hasn't come out with an exact replica of it yet.
Honestly, even with all the talk about people wanting it, I don't think it would sell very well. I know I wouldn't sport it, way too busy/over the top.
The VIS version is better, but still no.
