PM member Canyon707 for more info...that is the one that he bought, and currently has for sale I believe

Siebon requires hood pins,which kept me from buying one.Check the classifieds,Steve has some CF Gen4 hoods for sale.

I have had mine for about 2 months, very satisfied. As far as hood pins I don't think they're neccessary although I did reinforce the hood latch.

How would you compare the fit with factory? Post a pic or two of the gaps, etc.

The Seibon hoods are FLIMSY !@&$&#*(#**@#

I have personnally seen one sag when the hood was left open, you can push the "carbon Fiber" in and out an inch or two, it flexes, Carbon should not flex.

My Carbon hoods are stiff, light and mount properly, the Seibon does not even have studs to mount it with, you have to find bolts and washers to install it.

Seibon hoods are so flimsy that they will allow your alarm pin to rise while aprked and your alarm will go off all on its own.,

Looks awesome Steve I might have to send back my fiberglass one to you for the carbon version now that it looks like you have some new ones produced. Let me know those look incredible, and would match my carbon faced wheels perfect!

Man,

Wish this was an option back in early 2008 when I bought my factory 08' Hood for my 06 Coupe? Thta would have been the way I would have gone. How much lighter is that hood than stock?

Now if you could just make an 06-10 carbon fiber rear hatch with a Lexan window in it and it would drop about 200 pounds there, then that would be be an upgrade. Man that factory hatch is heavy!

You can save a ton of weight just be replacing the rear glass with lexan, I have some if you are interested

You have a Lexan rear window for a 2006+ Viper Coupe?

I just spoke to them, and they don't offer the rear window for the 2006+ coupes. The Comp Coupe yes, but not the street car.

Steve, ever thought about making a matching top and trunk lid like that 2003 SRT10 carbon?
