So i was driving home tonight after hanging out at my buddies house around 12. Well im accelerating from a stop light (prob going around 40 mph_ when all of a sudden i heard a loud crash and my window went black..all of a sudden i realized my seibon ts hood had flew up and smashed into the wind shield of my car

I got out of the car to realize my fenders were destroyed in the area by the windshield and my hood was completely ****ed up.Some how the wind shield didnt break but i am so lucky this was on a side street going slow versus being on the freeway.

Im just really pissed because i called a pretty reputable company that many drivers by their after market body kits from to buy some hood pins from them. I was told that i wouldnt need them because seibon is a reputable company and u really only need it for going 100 mph+

So let this be a lesson to everyone! Please buy hood pins for your hoods because i dont want to see someone killed by this type of bs...Someone was definitely looking over me tonight thank god

 

glad you're okay! gl w/ everything!

 

lol...... seibon how the fawk are they still in business, must be those ricers orderin hoods like mad keepin seibon afloat

glad you're ok man

 

glad ur okay....

oohh yea VIS IS FTW

SEIBON IS FTW SOMETIMES

 

That happen to me once. But it was a car I was looking at and I cause the hood to open. But the owner didn't know it was me and I got $500 off of what he was selling it for.

 

you were on a side street going slow(40MPH) and your hood flew up...

glad your ok though

 

Dang, glad you're okay. Will insurance cover this?

 

Wow..Best of luck on the repair

 

yeah thats what i cant understand but im glad it happen going so slow. The toy truck guy told me he had seen this before but on the freeway and the people got into a really bad accident i guess

 

I will find out today. I have my original hood and both fenders look like they need 2 be replaced

 

I don't care what anyone tells you. Hoods pins are a MUST for any carbon fiber hood. To drive without them is beyond me.

Glad to see you learned your lesson and you are OK.

 

hood pins were the first purchase for me after I got my seibon ts hood.
Aerolatch are a must never trust the stock latch.

P.S pictures please

 

Really? I thought it was the other way around?


Ok where can I buy hood pins

 

without hood pins, no c/f hood is WIN.

 

ill post pics when i go home on saturday since i am at my dorm right now and the car got towed to my house. I was going to buy aerolatch hood pins but i was told i didnt need them.

Lesson learned BUY HOOD PINS!
