Here's a new hood that just came out for the FC3S, made in the USA:

Pictured below is the Carbon Fiber version.

The hood can also be made in Carbon Kevlar and Fiberglass.

im really curious about the fitment of your products, considering the price.......
if i order this hood, and it fits like garbage, will you refund 100% of the price, including shipping?
i am VERY cautious about carbon or fiberglass parts, 99% of companies who sell these parts dont care about fitment and also have terrible customer support
hence why there is only like 1 company on here anyone will buy from....

I have a friend in the collision repair industry, he's really picky about fitment. For instance he won't even use non-oem metal replacement hoods / fenders. Somehow he can spot the difference between non-oem metal parts and oem. Then again I've seen aftermarket hoods with poor fitment.

So it depends on your opinion vs mfg's opinion of poor fitment, for the most part we're a reseller so it would be at the discretion of the manufacturer in most cases. We would not offer that, at least not for the price we have listed.

Our own line of VegasAero carbon fiber parts have guaranteed fitment, but we only have small amount of parts under our own brand.

If you're concerned with perfect fitment I would wait until we have some good test fitting pictures, which I'll post as soon as I get them.

The vents were molded to an oem metal hood for the plug so it should fit like oem.

Shopping by brand is kind of sketchy because there are hoods by VIS / TruFiber / Carbon Creations carbon fiber hoods that fit perfectly but there are some applications where they do not. The safest way would be case by case per part. When I get some test fitting photos I'll be sure to post them so you can judge the fitment before purchasing.

Here's some test fitting pics. These are actually from this forum. Our CBK B-wave style fc3s front bumper comes from the same mold as the bumper pictured in these pictures so the fitment would be the same:

That may be the same STYLE bumper, but that doesn't mean it's going to fit like these pictures show. Who made the one in these pictures? How much tweaking and modifying had the owner done before these pictures were taken? I'm pretty sure that's the sort of thing that magus is concerned about.

I, and most people on here understand that aftermarket products are never "perfect"; however, it is nice to know where we're starting from. I'm not knocking you in any way. I'm simply trying to convey that using pictures you managed to find of some random car that happens to have the same style as your product doesn't do ANY good when discussing YOUR product.

I'm also curious about fitment and if you have any experience with the Seibon CF hatch and fenders?

I need a replacement and wonder (I know it's been asked before) if the interior plastics fits back in and if not, in the inside of the CF hatch is more "finished".

Yes the picture above is of the b-wave copy from Raceonusa which was made for them by Extreme Dimensions which is also the same place that we get the b-wave bumper from so the fitment will be the same since they are all made from the same mold at ED's factory.

Seibon hatch has excellent fitment, I've sold a few of these to happy customers a long time ago and I think I also saw it on the Injen RX7 LS1 demo car.

I know the Carbon Creations RX7 FD3S fenders fit well.

I'm not sure what hood that is, both should appear on the site now, we've been doing some maintenance and adding new stuff lately.

i understand whole heartedly that fiberglass is never perfect, because i do fiberglass box's and such like that.
and for the price, i dont expect great fitment, but i also dont want to spend 20+ hours fixing the fiberglass to make it look right either.
i think ill be ordering the bumper soon enough

Yes, I think you'll be happy with it, especially for the price
