Could you share the info on your front clip? Best looking front end I have seen yet with real aero benefits molded into the design.

VIS racing has two designs, OEM style and a vented design similar to Seibon's TS design.

Carbon Creations runs one(?) design for the FR-S.

Pricing doesn't really compare to Seibon and I don't see there being any benefit to going with the other companies unless you prefer their designs. It's not like you're going to save any discernible amount of weight.

Love how this looks, especially offsetting the white.
Does the hood scoop not function to help cool the internals, are you saying it actually slows down your car?

Also did you paint it black or is that the factory carbon fiber? Is water an issue or did you end up getting rain guards?

Not a fan of the wrx style hood scoop on our cars. I like the vents though.

And I highly recommend getting hood pins for these cf hoods. Over the past 15yrs since cf parts became popular, I've seen way too many break off from the hood latches and fly up to smash the windshield and roof.
