I have mixed feelings about this hood. Firstly, it's hard to tell from the less than desirable product photos, but the vents and intake are all removable. The front vents have some 'shields' attached, which are also removable. Another potential issue was that the delivery company was a day late, due to a truck breakdown. They called to explain. Totally fine with that. Unfortunately, they also decided to deliver the package without me present, so I could not inspect it, nor sign the lading paperwork. Not cool, but there was no damage to the package. On to the actual product. At first it looked amazing. Upon further view, I noticed several (four), small divots in the hood toward the windshield. There is little to no reinforcement in that area, so the material is very thin and I can see it getting easily damaged, so handle with care. Also, the hood was dirty, with a ton of white residue, which I washed off. What is more concerning, is there are huge gaps along both sides where the hood meets the fender. I'm talking a good 1/4" at the biggest gaps. This was shocking, as I also have the Seibon duckbill trunk, and the fitment is almost perfect. Also, crucially, the holes for the windshield wiper nozzles were entirely too small. I had to cut off the tabs for the nozzles and drill the holes much larger to get them in. Even so, I cracked the clear coat a little trying to install one of the nozzles. Lastly, the front vents don't sit evenly. One vent is noticeably higher than the other. On the good side, the packing was overkill. Replacement hardware is included. Installation was easy, of course. The actual weave and clearcoat is near perfect, with only one tiny chip in the clear in the front lip. I understand this is CF, and aftermarket, so it's never going to be perfect, but Seibon should know better. I've seen them do it. Long story short, I would not recommend this hood to anyone.
