Seibon carbon fiber hood questions

The vents sitting over the place where twin turbo's would sit are really less functional for me (turbo-less) as the centre vent which bleeds massive amounts of air from right behind the radiator.

Completely agree. So your hood is duraflex then? Was fitment pretty decent?

I know. His question was two part. Was it Duraflex and did the hood fit properly. The build thread answered both questions....

After speaking with Ryan at Seibon and my local shop I ordered the GTR-style hood and am very excited to see what it will look like when installed. I was kicking around the idea of just installing the hood vents on the OEM hood, but decided against it since I think integrated vents will look and function better.

If I do not like the looks of it I will go ahead and paint it.

Quick question: I am getting new custom wheels soon and am trying to decided between gloss or satin black paint. Since the body is black and the hood will be glossy CF, which black should I go with?

I am leaning towards gloss black.
