Our sponsor's CF hood

[trdnerd]

Does anybody have any pics of this hood, prostreet.com hood, like to get more info, its at a great price. pics and fitment.

[SuuPaSeDan]

no pics, but its from seibon which is suppose to be really good

[NightCelica]

yup, i would definitely get a seibon hood.

[evil eye]

Damn, this has to be the fourth thread I've seen about the Seibon hoods in the past 2 months, and still no daytime pics! :sadpace:

[trdnerd]

Tell me about it thats why i tried again, i got a call today and prostreet told me the hoods are on back order and i should have mine here in 2 weeks, if so i will post plenty of pics and fitment as well.

[evil eye]

Please do! :thumbup:

If you don't mind me asking. How much did this cost you. I have just recently been thinking about getting one. I do have another question, will the cf hoods chip like the factory one? My hood looks horrible right now.

Its 361 shipped with the discount code, look it up on the home screen in vendor's area.

It will get pitted just like your hood, if you drive it a lot. You can't stop debris from hitting your car. :(

I would clearcoat it before you install it. That will offer protection from sun fade and protect it a litle bit better from debris. :)

[trdnerd]

How it comes isn't there a protection coat already on it?

[evil eye]

There's a UV coat on it, but that will fade over time. Some people's hoods turn brown over time, even with UV coating. It doesn't happen all the time, but I'd rather be safe then sorry. :)

The clear coat is a precaution and a peace of mind. I recommend it.

[trdnerd]

You can just take it to a paint shop and they can clear coat it?
it says it has a uv protected gel coat but i guess thats not as good?

[xtccrush]

Thanks for the info. yeah I would clearcoat it mainly because I don't want it getting all banged up. My factory hood right now is absolutley disgusting. It's all the highway driving that really gets to it.

CF hood won't save you much weight..

Who said anything about wanting to save weight? :gap: It's an appearance mod mostly. :chuckles:

[CelicaRcr01]

how do you know the hood is made by seibon? theres no mention of that at all? If it is though that would be nice

[evil eye]

In the vendor forum there was a thread that the seller started stating it was a Seibon hood.

I just tried looking for it, and it's mysteriously disappeared...hmmmmm :wtf:

[trdnerd]

so did some money umm about that!

[trdnerd]

That me get this straight, i don't think prostreet is actually a sponsor, just a vendor that posted, so excuse me for that.

[evil eye]

I was always under the impression that for any shop/vendor to sell products on NC.org they had to become a sponsor first.

[trdnerd]

i cancled my hood today, screw this, i got my rims yersterday so i should order my suspension upgrades so my car don't have the crap gap, lol i might order hood again once its in stock.

[evil eye]

Good call. ;)
