To reply to the other post.. NEGATIVE on Ab-Flug, I asked. And YES, this is being worked on to the OP. I'll can guarantee this will be worth the wait, but I can't say more than that. |

I haven't owned anything from them myself. Have you had a bad experience? What brand(s) would you deem better in your opinion, and why?

Well, install went well and it was golden for about two weeks. I was about to pay for my Volks and get ready to go to Nisei week car show (which I STILL haven't been to)... but on that day, about a week before Nisei week car show, all of a sudden, the hood wouldn't latch! It was almost like the latch was defective, only latching when it wanted to. I called the retailer and they told me to contact Seibon which had a warehouse in LA. They said to bring the hood down and they would replace it or refund me if they didn't have it in stock. (The retailer told me this was the last one and that the hoods came from Japan... which was bullshit). So I FINALLY get the hood latched about 5 hours later. On my way to driving down to Seibon, the latch slips off of the catch (which I don't even get how it's possible), catches the wind and proceeds to cause $7K+ worth of damage on my almost brand new G35. Fenders peeled back, destroyed hood, dented roof, smashed windshield, etc. Never got to buy my Volks because I had a $2K premium at the time which I had to pay out of pocket. Neither the retailer or Seibon would pay for ANYTHING, not even giving me a free hood... worst customer service ever, worst quality ever. Their hoods are crap honestly. Can't hold a candle to any reputable Japanese company like Varis, Zele, Amuse, etc. I know it's expensive, but I won't put any cf on my car unless it's OEM quality and truly lighter. Even the OP posted a great company called RevoZport which is coming out with a lot of awesome parts for GT-Rs at a fair price point for pretty damn good CF work. CF work in the U.S., is for the most part, is marketed to / for ricers. Any decent company in the US / California is usually busy with custom orders or government contracts. I recently started dealing with cf manufacturers all the time so I've seen the quality difference first hand. |

We have a 2011 TC on the lot right now with a Seibon hood, it feels like it's made out of helium. It fits perfectly, it's like it was stock. So I don't have any reservations about getting one myself. But before I do, I would do some research on those other brands you mention. I wouldn't be getting a hood, it would be the trunk with the ducktail, and I'd have it painted. I'm not one of those "check out my CF trunk" kind of guys.
