ROFL that's better than some OEM hood fitments!

kanundrum · 03-05-2013, 04:47 PM

Lol really? Again it took about 6 times to get it right and even then its still off by a few MM but other than that I can live with it

Oh well

Looks great! I was thinking about a hood as well.

The gap seems to get wider near the top which is blah, but the alignment at the cutoff corners/headlights seems better than some OEM hoods I've seen.

I wish I had the same luck back when I had my hood. I would have been happy with that fitment. Do they still include that cheap mesh that looks like chicken wire for the vent? I hope you don't run into any of the problems I ran into with the clear.

If its the same mesh I had, Make sure you coat it good because I missed a small spot and it started to rust. It didn't happen over night or anything, but something else to keep an eye out for.

Gotcha thanks for all the info

staycrushing · 03-06-2013, 11:45 AM

yeah seibon used to be easy to work with back when the old marketing director was there... since he left all i have been told and read are complete nightmares. i have a personal experience but i believe it isn't professional to post about it on here.

anyways... VIS Racing is debuting a new hood and trunk for the car as well as various carbon accents. I will be test fitting them soon and putting up pics.

You Socal and Cal folks get all the perks

staycrushing · 03-06-2013, 02:05 PM

in the past i have sold thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of product for the owner of VIS.

you have to pay your dues before you get opportunities like this. been told no more times than i can even count.

Body Shop commented fitment is spot on when it comes to the curvature and placement on the car

Installation was a bit more difficult than anticipated though

kanundrum · 03-18-2013, 07:03 PM

Yea bigger exhaust is coming haha, as well as Black Bolts
