seibon ts Carbon fibe. Hood or stillen front bumper?

Lemers · 10-10-2010, 04:24 PM

So I'm looking into either buying a Seibon TS CF hood or the stillen front bumper. I'm looking for advise an cirtisism. From those who are living with or had either one of these products. Questions like would you buy them again or completely pass. What problems do they present or do they have oem fit?

There's a member who is selling the same cf hood you're looking for.

Seibon TS CF hood $500

You should give him a call.

I would suggest passing on the Stillen front bumper.
Issues with fitment, 3 piece design for a front bumper (

) and still not word if they fixed the bubble forming under the head lights.

On the hood, no experience with Seibon and quality.

I've installed a seibon hood on a G37, fitment was pretty good actually.

Do you still have it? Is it something that would you recommend to someone else? How does it feel in terms of quality? Would it stand up to every day driving or do you think cracking at the joints or latches may accur?

The quality was pretty good. The CF looks good and when it arrived, no cracks or chips. The only bad part was the end of the hood where it meets the A-Pillars. It wasn't flush. When I installed it, I couldn't use any rubber strips from the OEM hood because it didnt fit and it would cause gaps at the front bumper. The side hooks had to be grind down because if you screw it in too much, it will hit the CF and cause a bump on the hood. The windshield washer strip does not fit in the hood either. i have to glue it on. other than that, I have no gaps in front or on the sides.
