after reading numerous threads...i still don't know what company is better seibon or VIS... but anyways...i'm looking to get either a JS style or an OEM and paint the sides...my question is the fitament vs. price, and if some people who own either company and either of the hood styles... it would be awesome if you could tell me how much you paid and / or your opinions on the hood...

i called VIS and i was quoted $718 for JS and $508 for OEM...and their website says they have a new, larger weave??? supposedly cuz others are starting to use two pieces / with seems cuz of the shortage of cf? wtf?

whats IS a good price for the aforementioned cf hoods?

 

I have the seibon JS style hood on my car. Fitment is great, the only thing you need to do is adjust the latch because the hook on the hood is short. $700 is about right.

 

def seibon

 

seibon all the way

 

hey shift, do you live near UCSD? if you do, would you mind meeting up? i'd like to see your hood in person before i buy it.

 

Seibon is a great hood... There is a bit of a gap on mine with the Data System grille. It is not as bad with the OEM grille however.

 

how about with the gialla?

 

I work at Fashion Valley... at the T-mobile store in the food court.

 

If anyone in Sacramento wants one I have one cheap!

 

would you mind shipping>?

 

It would be too hard to ship, sorry.

 

hey, if i come visit you this weekend, you mind showing me your car? what color is it?

 

sorry to change thread topic, but your PM box is full...but, how do you like the HKS exhaust? does it sound ricey compared to stock? im hesitant to let go such an awesome stock exhaust note, but i would like something loud n proud...

 

No regrets with the HKS! It has a bit of a deeper tone and is only loud when you get on it.

Can't go wrong with HKS at all!

 

I have a DG coupe, lowered with black rims, and you can see my invidia exhaust. Its cool.. just make sure you come before 12 cause I might just call it a day and leave early.
