Im looking for the TS hood but seibon makes them for cheaper, is it the same exact thing or is it diffrent in anyway but price?

 

How can I be of assistance?

Let see.... the Authentic Top Secret Hood is made in Japan, higher quality, larger vent openings, and straighter vents (from back to front) and also has "rain guards" that you can screw on when it rains.

The Seibon replica TS hood has smaller vents, no rain guards, and is more angled from back to front in their vents.

I've heard mixed reviews on the Seibon hoods from fitment to cracking, but I'm sure there are others who love it.

Good luck.

Here's a response to their hood that was cracking:

ts better quality and seibon is made of low quality cf with a reputation of cracking and the obvious of hood flying up (hood pins are an absolute with the seibon) although the ts is better i would still buy the seibon and go with the hood pins and probably paint it but if u want to u can go with the original ts but double the price its kinda your own personal preference

 

Anybody got pics of the two of them, so i can actually see the diffrence in the angles of the vents, also, im not gonna sup up the car, so would it be better to have the rain guards? I dont want water getting in. Its all about looks for me, i kinda just wanna see how the angles differ....

 

why pay double??
ive bought 4 hoods from seibon for different cars
no problems

 

bump for responses please.

 

Here I photoshopped some "lines" so you can see the angles and such:

I have never had any problems with Seibon stuff cracking. Vis on the other hand my hood fit like a glove that had been shrunk and warped 20x over.
