looks just like mine. you should paint the vent screens black and take the vent covers off.

Drive without any hood! Better cooling!

thats the hood I want to get. I want to tape off the rotary triangle and paint the rest to match the car.

Nice choice on the hood it looks great, the fit looks great too. One day I'm gonna pick up on of those. By the way does it come with vent covers?

I'm planning on getting that hood as well after i get the MS bodykit. How much did you pay for it?

I took the vent covers off, but I'm leaving the meshes how they are, I like the look, it matches my strakes . But!! It wasn't too expensive, I think it was $850+shipping. I live in Canada so it was about $100 to ship here, but yeah.. I love it, have gotten alot of double takes around my place

Nice!! How was the install...straight drop in?? Wonder how much that would help cooling on the track.

It took about 35 minutes with the help of one friend. Two people is OPTIMAL because both people need to hold the hood with their head while they use a ratchet. ALSO I didn't have the correct bit piece for the bolts that came with the hood, so it took abit longer... The bolts are somewhere between 9 and 10mm.... JUST UNDER 10mm.. But I'm sure it helps cooling quite abit. Every time you stop at a light you can see the heat waves coming out of the vents.

I know this thread is old as the hills BUT if the OP checks his threads or anyone else who has the Seibon TSII carbon hood checks this I was just curious how much difficulty is it in removing the factory latch and putting it on the new hood? Did you have to adjust the factory latch to make the hood latch properly? ALSO who has this hood without pins and how fast have you gone? I don't want to install hood pins but I'm sure I'll be at speeds of 115 on some occasions. Just hoping someone who has experience can help, thanks!

you may have to do some adjustment all depending on fitment. my seibon was spot on and I did not have to adjust (the hood at least, the trunk is a different story).

Anyways its only four bolts but its handy to have a second person just to help hold the hood because of the awkward size.

Thanks for the reply (your private message inbox is full) do you have your hood mounted with hood pins? If not how fast have you gone with it?

mscamp02

no its not mounted with hood pins, it uses the stock mounting system and does not have any further reason to "catch" wind and break away than the stock hood (which is a light aluminum hood and really does not weigh that much more)

hood pins are designed to replace a stock latching system that way you can easily unpin the hood and take it completely off without really any effort. It is most likely that you will never have a reason to do this.

The hood looks great. I think the whole car would look better with an aftermarket front bumper, just my .02 But I do really like the hood.

monchie

It's okay, but not my style of hood. I like the oem better.

i'll second this. i had to put a couple washers under the latch to space it out farther.

Yep unpackaged the hood, switched out the factory hood latch and bolted her right up. The hood closed down too far so I put 3 washers on each bolt under the latch on the hood a voila! Fits great! I'm heading to Import Face-Off in K.C. this weekend so I guess that'll be the speed test on the hood to see if going 100 will snap it loose and cause it fly up...
