this kid i knew got a seibon cf hood for his g35, the poor kid forgot to put hood pins in and it flew up and sliced his roof open.

definitely something to remember when you go with the cf hood.

I have the seibon ss cf vented hood and to be honest fitment was very poor I had to sand both edges of the front of the hood by almost 1/4" each side it was that wide in the front and the windshield squirter holes are way to small to fit at that point I didn't feel like modding my $800+hood anymore so I didn't bother enlarging the holes but overall I was dissapointed by fitment looks are killer however
