New Carbon Fiber parts...Front lip, Hatch, and hoods
Hey, saw this company, Seibon , makes stuff for the FD. Thought I'd share.
Looks like the hoods retail for $500. Not bad.
Maybe they'll make some doors that are cheaper than the Panspeed one's.

I like that hood. Looks like it has decent ventilation, especially the vent on the right side in the rear, should be good for getting rid of turbo hear. And $500 is a damn good price. hmmmm....

Place your ad here...
I personally wouldn't use a CF front lip. Carbon Fiber doesn't flex - it cracks. Therefore, if you scrape something, the lip would most likely crack and break. I highly doubt a CF front lip would last that long (unless you don't scrape on any driveways, curbs, or hit any rocks).
The hoods look pretty nice. Wonder how fitment is...

But you know there will be some people that want it just because it's CF.

hmm...my cf front lip is pretty strong...haha...it went directly into the curb and it just poped back to shape...hehe...but i guess if you hit only a part of it, it might crack...i got like 2 small cracks on mine...but maybe these are made stronger? since mine is only 1 layer of cf

I emailed the guy on maybe getting a group discount or something for the hoods and lips. It looks like they have some quality stuff from the pictures. Anyone live near Indianapolis? Want to drop by and check out there stuff first hand and report back?
