Mike, was wondering about these, do you lose the power mirrors, or do they still have the motors in them? And do you lose the heating of them?

Many thanks,
Barry

Definetely the KS looks better than the TSII. The TSII is too agressive with those "shark" gills. I can see your car with the KS hood painted in red and the diamond mesh in black. Definetely a cleaner look. On the side, with those vented hood will you have water getting into the engine? I guess you are not worried since it does not rain a lot in Cali.

Would you color the screens ?
If I got that hood I'd definitely paint them black.

I think if I got the hood the mesh would be painted black
red mesh would look funny IMO

Definitely paint black. Not as much of a contrast. Great looking hoods, I liked the other two seibon hoods as well.

I think you would be cleaning out your engine bay a lot.

Very sweet looking car!

But I wouldn't paint the carbon hood, I like seeing the carbon fibre.
