Regardless, there is no denying that this is one hot car.

no i'm not getting defensive, i was just replying to people comments, you can say what ever you want about the car, thats your right. thats the one thing i don't like about forums though, is the lack of emotion, and that makes it easy to miscomprehend

AUG!!!... I see you got a SEIBON hood too.. I have the other style hood and I have this HUGE gap in the front of it as well... The only way you can get rid of it a little is to make the hood braket holes bigger for the hood to slide... Very Mad about that on the hood... other than that its a great hood..

really, i always heard really good things about seibon.

my hood fit fine, no gap at all before paint, the bumper was help on by zip ties

but after paint, the guy who was doing it tack welded some nuts to bolt it too as i asked but they sit too far foward hence the gap

Nice car. Love the Seibon CF hood.

BTW - Your nick sixgen3sgte must mean that you were once a toyota fan right?

I have the KSII hood... I thought SIBON makes Great hoods... All the other CF Hoods I saw by them where great... Even on the picture the hood looks great. But when I put it on my car the hood does not fit good at all..

If you go on the website: http://www.seiboncarbon.com/pdut_det...asp?ItemID=308

The hood looks great on a red Rx8 But on mine with all stock stuff.. the front Gap is HUGE! and on the sides of the hood the gaps are big as well. I know the hood is not going to fit as good as stock.. But I have had some cheep CF hoods for my civic that fit allot better than the SIBON hood fits on my Rx8. I was very dissapointed with them. And the thing that pisses me off the most is they don't want to help at all. So now the thing just sits in my garage taking up space..
