Seibon Carbon on Whiteout FR-S
 

Ok so in my other thread I posted some in the garage crappy pictures of my new carbon hood and spoiler and i figured that it would just be better to have a new thread with good pics right up front.

As for what Seibon parts I have so far here's some links to their site:

And since I didn't get a good head on shot out at the mountain here's one in front of my house...I really like this angle ;)

If you guys need any more info just hit me up. As for where to get them? I saved a ton of money on my Seibon parts going through Sean at Vivid Racing!

hope you enjoy the pics :)

Excellent photos, i really like the spoilers and i can't decide on the hood i would probably like it better personally painted but it's almost a shame to do so. That's my major dilemma with CF parts.

Yeah I know that feeling, the carbon looks so damn good, but in the end painting it and leaving the vents clear carbon will look sick as hell. Crazy thing about the pictures is its all point and shoot Sony CyberShot 18.1Mp, wish I could stop spending money on the car and buy an SLR but that aint happening ;)

Awesome pics! But I didn't know Vivid Racing sold Seibon products for the FR-S. Can't find it here or on their site. Link please? =D

Yeah it doesn't show on their site, call them up ask for Sean, tell them Gerden sent ya and you want pricing on Seibon parts...lets just say I saved close to $400 bucks off MSRP for the 3 pieces i have so far...

Just got my seibon spoiler today, any mounting tips?
Use the 3m tape?
I was surprised no mounting tape was supplied.
Looks great

Post some more shots of the roof spoiler!

Yeah I went to AutoZone and picked up a roll of 3M body moulding tape, works great, just make sure to apply pressure for a few minutes to really get it to stick. Mine are really on there right now. Also make sure to remove any wax and oil from the paint.

Will do, it's just hard to take clear pics of it due to the contrast between the whiteroof and the black window with the wing in between.

Did you weigh your aluminum hood and cf hood to see how much less if any the cf one weighed? Im curious since I may invest in the DV style hood.

Damn that looks pretty good :)... Sending you a PM now as well.

No I havent had a chance yet I'm behind on a bunch of stuff so she's been sulking in the garage for the past couple days. I will try to weigh the hoods this week but if I don't get to it I dont get to it. The carbon is noticeably lighter than the stock hood, but it's not a huge decrease since the stock hood is already super light.

Looks great! I'm digging that hood. We got some stuff headed in for our FRS as well.

What did you use to paint the plastic under your hood red?

OP, did the vented hood help much with reducing the turbo heat from the engine bay? I'm looking at the Seibon hoods trying to decide which one would be best for my kit (Treadstone).

How do you like the hood? I'm considering the TS style as well because it just looks fantastic and I feel like it would actually work to vent heat.

Also, just as a side curiosity if you know, do you think it would be fairly easy to install hood pins on the hood? Or would it be something better done by a shop?

Love the hood so far, as for actually pulling air from the engine bay...well i have no way to prove it does or even test it, but it definitely allows hot air to get out of the engine bay in traffic.

As for hood pins...well it depends on your level of skill when dealing with cutting/drilling FRP and CF, I've heard CF can dull drill bits pretty quickly and any cutting is also a pain in the ass.

Cool, thanks! I'm looking at the VS hood, which puts the vent right over my turbo kit.

OP did you line the underside of the hood with anything?

Is the spoiler functional or purely aesthetic? That is, does it change the downforce on the rear end at all?

Do you have to drill for the SN Style Rear Spoiler, or is it just tape?
