ok, got it from eieio for $250... not a bad deal considering quality of hood and all... just a slight bit off for my taste... is there a way to adjust my hood fitment? or should I make a small bracket to slightly raise it up on the hook in front so it lines up much better? could use your expert advise here guys... I like it a lot, and I will post pics of car as soon as it fits to my satisfaction...
Thanks!!!
(its not that big a deal, but I would like it with a little bit better fit and all... :D )

 

**** man is that how they all will fit..I just ordered mine.but if it not a perfect fit like they claimed i will cancel.

 

Could you shim it from underneath that corner?

 

who can recommend a carn=bon fiber hood that fits like the stock one

 

i just found out that there is 3 different classes of hoods a,b,c a is the best fitting and will fit exactly like stock as per mxc racing.

 

so anyone else figure out my dillema??? thanks...

 

I just spoke to a dealER of Seibon hoods he assures me that it will fit exactly like stock..And he thinks you got a shitty..I will have mine in 2 weeks and will install..I will aDVISE IF IT'S AS GOODS AS THEY SAYS.

 

keep us posted
I want that siebon ks hood

 

Don't listen to Seibon, i just bought the OEM style hood from them, they are fucing worst hood i never seen, leave 1 inch gap on the side and little gape in the front. they don't fit good on my mazdaspeed front bumper. when i call them up, they told me i can't exchange or return my hood! WTF is this?

 

by the way, yesterday i called them, and they told me all the hood are the same, they made from one model... so i believe other one won't fit good either. now I need to spend more money to fit the hood right. I bought hook lock today, hope it helps, because the gap on the side really make me feel sick, it's ugliest gap ever.

 

We have the SEIBON OEM carbon hood on our Project RX8 and it fits pretty good. We adjusted the latch up a little and reajusted the front bumper and it is pretty much a perfect fit. I will try and get some photos up within the week.

 

i haf got the Varis one
it fits perfectly

 

Today i got my hood lock in my seibon oem styel hood, now it fits good now, but it is pain in the a$$ to pop the hood because i have to pull the two pin back and then pop the hood, and when i shut the hood, i have to watch out not to smash the pin. But my hood fits now, that is all i care, and the hook lock give my car a race look, by the way i paint my lock in black.

 

for the love of god
post some pics of your 8

it sounds awesome^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

i had the same problem with my CF hood. i just put a two washers inbetween the hood and the latch and that raised the hood just enough to where it is flush now. you can also adjust the rubber bumbers that the hood rests on when closed.

 

sounds good... I will do the same... also how do you adjust the rubber bumpers???
thanks!

 

i'll post picture but the problem is when i try to post it, it say the size is too big, and how can i resize it.

 

I swear to god if my hood comes in and does not fit like the stock after the many times i spoke to them they are going to find out why they call us the crazy canucks.

 

just resize it in a photo program... paintshop...etc...
thanks

 

tell me if the hood fit on ur car, if it doesn't fit like the stock hood, what u going to do about it? i'll go streak with u.

 

dam that fits pretty bad....im scared to get one now...anyone buy the VIS hood???
