I was really hoping these would be a-pillar gauges or something. These aren't too practical.

How did the Seibon hood and trunk fit? How hard is it to install them? They look really nice. I really love the duck tail on the trunk!

Can't you see the big, nasty gap along the hood from the pics. Their parts are junk and fit like junk too. I'd be willing to bet that they weight more than factory parts too. Cheap crap.

Did you have to cut the supports behind the dash to install the guage pods? I really like that location.

No troll buddy, I know Seibon parts very well. I've spent almost 20 years in the custom car industry and have tons of experience. My work speaks for itself.

Look at the pictures..you can see how bad the seams are and the pics are from far away. They are horrible, heavy parts. Do some investigating for yourself and I know you will echo my comments. I'm here to help others and if that's steering them away from bad products then so be it.

I second the question on the Seibon parts...and a note on carbon fiber like this: this is not "real" carbon fiber like what racers use. If you want real weight savings get a dry carbon hood. While this may save a tiny bit of weight, it's for looks. And currently seibon basically makes the only custom hoods for our cars sooo...But anyway, how does the hood fit?

I'll be honest the hood and trunk was a great fitment....The trunk fit just right! the hood had no problems like other companies out there...

that little gap that this troll or is saying is cause we had one of the strut bars loose and it was hitting the roof of the hood..
