Seibon Carbon vs other kits out there. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

While Seibon Carbon have expensive products, I think i would rather buy their front fenders and deck the rest of the car out with carbon fiber for about 4000 then buy a whole non carbon fiber wide body kit. The fenders are 10mm wider then stock.
so a list i was thing was

1:left Seibon Carbon fender $850
2:right Seibon Carbon fender $850
3:trunk garnish $160
4:Seibon Carbon Fiber Spoiler - sn $390
5:Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood - OEM $640
6:rexspeed carbon fiber lip kit $1065

Total of $ 3955
What do ya'll think of this compared to other body kits out there. I wont get as wide as them but to me the front is the only part that is lacking in the wide department. the fenders being 10mm wider will help.

Why not an entire carbon fiber trunk instead of the garnish?

t scott you have a good point i will look around it slipped my mind. That shouldn't run but another 400 or 500 so 4500 to be safe.

Another thing you have to decide is whether you want the wet look carbon, or the dry. In my opinion I would go with wet.

Fl4t fun · 11-05-2013, 02:02 PM

Wet for sure. Dry is over priced.

heres my vis racing wet carbon trunk. seems lighter a bit lighter than stock trunk. i deffinately feel downforce at high speed.

i have a seibon wet carbon hood and i feel that vis makes better parts (less defects in the weave and finish) but the seibon hood fits better the vis trunk does not align perfect with the trunk latch so you have to close it slow to the point where it meets the latch and then give it a little push closed, but a harder push than the stock trunk because it is not perfectly aligned it pulls to the left when it latches but then it sits perfectly aligned when closed. i should be able to fix that problem by slotting our trunk bracket

are sure the fenders are sold individually??? i have dealt with seibon in the past and for a large order like this they will help u out with pricing. those fenders are sick. i want a set badly.

also on thing u are forgetting is shipping cost.

Yep freight, collect on demand shipping on those parts will suck big time. Also a UC protection clearcoat if you want the parts to look fresh for a long time.

ExtremeAutowerks · 11-05-2013, 05:48 PM

Seibon has stepped their game up. Their products fit better than it used to.

I just think a carbon body car would be so much nicer then a cut up car with a body kit. I love the fenders so much

Personally I want the AIMGAIN widebody fenders and a Zele lip kit. I'm not a fan of the AIMGAIN front bumper.
