CF Hood. Yes? No?
 
I have a velocity red 8. thinking about getting a CF hood. Worth it? or should i invest my money elsewhere?

dondo 09-19-2009 11:22 PM

i think they look sweet on vr. got pics of your car now to post?

I Selkiies 09-19-2009 11:52 PM

Nah, all i got is a couple pics of the exhaust cuz the person i bought it from didn't know what type of exhaust it was. A couple of people were saying B&B and it sounds like one. I guess i lucked out, cuz he didn't know it was a good one. Ill have to post some in the morning.

mscamp02 09-20-2009 12:13 AM

yes....I think they are sexy especially on vr

dhan 09-20-2009 01:12 AM

haha go for it bro! get the vis! one. looks sick. But i wonder what how it would look on a black car!

pineapplesoymilk 09-20-2009 10:45 AM

Yes deff get a hood with a trunk looks awesome on the vr 8

klanham08 09-20-2009 11:08 AM

I have been thinking of the same thing (once I get the money of course)...should I go for the OEM CF Hood, or should I get something nicer?

I also have a VR 8.

pineapplesoymilk 09-20-2009 11:50 AM

oem is soo classic oem cf hood and trunk but make sure you get them clearcoated before you put them on your car because the factory clear coat fades and isnt the best

Gr8Bullet 09-20-2009 12:18 PM

Get a cf hood it adds style and your hood won't be as hot compared to your stock hood. Looks great on mine.

+1 on the clearcoat get it asap!

stanknasty56 09-20-2009 12:44 PM

Fitment was crap and they told him to destroy it and make a video so he could get a new one. Same-thing happen with me but they took the hood back instead.

dondo 09-20-2009 04:16 PM

^ that's silly

ok then, i would have gone a different route then. like find a front wheel drive car and try tray slidding on the hood upside down. or there is always Fire,explosives, or very large truck or construction equipment.

gh8st 09-21-2009 09:33 AM

seibon with bad fitment?? haha the shipping company must have knocked it around a lot..

ac3mastuh 09-21-2009 12:04 PM

ive had two seibon hoods and both were excellent fitments, from everyone ive ever seen having one, the fit has been pretty good, if it was truly that bad, it must have been shipped poorly and knocked around a bit

Jedi54 09-21-2009 12:26 PM

it's hit or miss with CF parts. Seibons usually fit well but every now and then you get one that's way off. Philipcan has the Seibon and for some reason the gaps are larger on his then any other I've seen in person.

Remember xdeedubbx's trunk? Pretty sure it was seibon and the fitment was definitely 'off'

gh8st 09-21-2009 12:58 PM

word.. i've heard more poor trunk fitments than hood fitments. I think as long as the gap is even all around, it'll look fine. It took some work to get my hood to fit right.. but it was definitely worth it

Jedi54 09-21-2009 01:05 PM

also, the color of your car plays a big factor into how it "fits". Lighter colors such as Silver are not as good at masking the hood gap between the front bumper or the fenders.

If you have a Brilliant Black, it's a bit more forgiving. (yet another reason BB is the best color) :)

Not worth the money.
