I ordered the seibon matte finish tsI hood (thanks to topgear8 for the idea) last thursday and the hood arrived TODAY.. took them less than a week to get the hood shipped out from california to new york! so here are some pictures :)

Hey now, dont let everyone know where you got it. It's nice not having everyone on the damn forums have the same hood ;)

oh man, i love this hood! nice choice - topgear's is sweet. i didn't realize they made a wet (shiny) and matte version though. so i guess the matte finish looks like dry carbon?

take come close-ups w/ light. i have bb so i really don't know what looks better w/ bb, shiny or matte. hmmm

chino0314 09-29-2009 08:56 PM

how would this look on a vr.... sorry to thread jack just need an opinion

use topgear8's car as a reference.. i like the matte look, but it's just preference =) i'll have a photoshoot once i finish my midterms..

good point! damnit. i guess i've can't picture the shiny cf on a bb, so i don't know what to compare it too. tg's does look sweet though. i have a "shiny" cf trunk lid, but honestly it fits like sh-t and i wouldn't mind saving up for a matte lid if i thought it would look better. maybe one day i'll be able to see one in person, that's probably the only way to tell.

congrats though. it looks sweet! how was the shipping rate? the price on their site looks reasonable.

Juansito 09-29-2009 09:13 PM

wow man just wow -- shit looks so much better than i thought it would!!

Awesome -- cant wait to get mine.
