if the seibon stuff has an underframe, then maybe not as needed.

Hood clips would be sex. I personally love the look. Haven't heard any horror stories about them, or anything about them really. =|

Seibon has really come a long way with this hood. I dont know why hood pins would be necessary... This thing looks very rigid and uses the stock latch. The vents have water diversion trays so you dont have to cover them with tape when it rains like i have seen many people do.

Ok after weeks and weeks of hoping this was a good move... I have to say, Hell yeah it was! With just a very few minor issues to fix on Monday, I finally have the look I want for my 8.... Now the age old question... to Strake or Not to Strake!

Yes to strake... And you need to put the front emblem back on IMO... Front is just missing something without that emblem.

Looks great. I need to get some **** repainted on mine... But that is what happens when you get a used car... lol

If you do get rid of the strakes though, let me know... I might be interested as long as the price is reasonable.
