    $1000 just gone down the drain.

    all the advice from everyone was right.....they fit like ass.
    they fit like a $300 yahoo auction trunk lid.. no wait...a yahoo auction trunk lid actually close without rubbing on the headlight....a seibon one doesn't even close. the frp on the back is too thick.

    the only good thing about the trunk lid is, it's actually thicker and heavier then a yahoo auction one. which i think might be able to support a gt wing without a problem.

    here are some pic of the crap fitment...

    anyone who wanna buy a $1000 seibon cf trunk lid..don't waste ur time and money please !
    your problem might be having headlights in the rear.

    • Felix, my buddy just brought home a "type JU" Seibon Hood (retails around $1300) and its the worst looking, cheaply made thing we have seen. taking it back because it doesnt fit right and many other issues such as the safety catch molded into the hood was so wafer thin it broke through on the first use.

      • Neal has a SEIBON hood for Pinky and it looks fine.

        • Another thing, these "expensive = quality" Seibon hoods arent even full carbon fiber. they are fiberglass with a top layer of CF for looks.

          They want me to put one on my car. I cant see that happening now unless these few cases of crappy product are flukes.

          • cf over lay is no problem as i havent seen any dry cf trunk or hood go less then $2500 for any cr..i just wish it would actually fit..but it doesnt.
            the only thing good is its actually thicker then the one i have now and it MIGHT be able to support a gt wing

              hmmm... ive had no issues with my seibon hood... and fitment was very good... as for it being not full carbon, well it isn't a $2G's+ hood... because if its "full carbon" you should be paying north of that...

                      • Well I haven't been onto GTRC in a while. I still remember the good old days when only a select few had skylines, but hey they're finally starting to get noticed. No more, you're driving on the wrong side.....wait that still happens. Anyways Felix, that looks SICK, although it seems like you have a bottomless wallet. Keep going.

                        • This is the first time i drilled into this thread, and i really enjoy seeing people plans for their cars come to fruition... nice job i really like seeing raw carbon on a car, i dont think it should be painted, the white/carbon is really nice combination imo... one thing, could you tell me where your getting all your trim and such made up in CF? also, would you happen to have the stock airboxes kicking around?

                          • my stock air box from the car was gone since last march.sorry.

                            the carbon stuff is mostly customs by some carbon hobbiest here intown.
                            and i made a few things too.
