I have one question since you have owned this and put it on the car.
Does it work with all 3 hood locks on the car or just the center one?

It works with all three... You have to take the pieces off the stock hood, and put them on the CF hood. The fitment was perfect, and you have to adjust the latches on the hood to your liking...

I didn't put any hood pins because the hood held in place with no flexing or lifting at higher speeds...

Thanks, that is good to hear.
I am not a huge fan of hood pins and am glad to hear it works with the stock locks. :tup:

The thing that I was most surprised with was how they were actually able to make the NACA ducts functional. They rounded the hood up to match the NACA ducts, and match the headlight bump...

You are going to need a truck for this if you come and pick it up... my friend let me borrow his truck to pick this up from SEIBON...

Functional how?

NACA duct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Their have been many hoods with ducts put in place that cause more turbulence, yet these are fully functional because it let's in air for cooling while not causing the hood to lift at higher speeds... If a duct was put in place without a curvature (bulge prior and after) to help the air flow over the hood, it would still let air into the engine bay, but would also create drag above the duct causing the hood to lift or rattle...

The vented hoods are good for letting hot air out, but these are better for pushing cold air into the engine bay for cooling. I would still like to see someone put spacers at the hinges to see if the air flow in and out would drastically lower engine bay temperatures.

I wish I could, but shipping would be over $150 for the buyer I believe...

Jamaica 11-28-2010 01:04 PM

shipping will be $160 to ship it.

Really? I guess it would be possible, but how would I go about that? I don't have a car big enough to drop it off, and I could only have it picked up...

The box is 49.5" x 49.5" weighing 40lbs

i bought one of these hoods, the TS version, about a month ago from a guy like 800 miles away.

He had it all in the original box. i brought with 6 rachet straps and drove my buddies malibu all the way out there, strapped it to the roof still in the box, and drove on home. worked out great. but you have to be very smart about the straps or that thing will go flying... i had to pull over twice to get it right. diagonal straps were attached to the mirrors so i couldnt open the doors anymore and had to climb in the windows!

while nothing fits like OEM, i was able to get it very acceptable and got the factory latches and seal all on there great.

Yeah, that is why it's better if the person coming to get it has a truck... the fitment on this hood was spot on, and it does really seem like Seibon is doing a much better job with quality. I heard that they have their own factory now compared to having another factory make it for them in the past.

Doesn't DHL do a pickup at your house if you want to ship? Just a thought.

xdeslitx 12-02-2010 06:35 PM

I guess there's a fee
DHL: Schedule a pickup

I'll just leave it up to the buyer to set up shipping if they want it... otherwise, pickup is very much preferred
