buyer beware,it is of poor quality. I bought the hood thinking it was a deal but it requires alot of work to be done some sanding and alot of bondo to make ready for paint. I still havent started yet but would have been cheaper getting the VIS or seibon CF hood and painting it. seeing as I havent learned to do body work yet its gonna cost me a fortune to have someone else do it.

as with everything, you get what you pay for.

i bought one on ebay not the same brand, but overall it was ok for the money but the latch didnt even fit right and the hood prop didnt either. i got it to fit with some work.

this company is right up the street from me. I bought one of their n1 replica hoods and the fitment and quality is not the best. I had a hook up on painting it though, so even though it did need a decent amount of work it wasnt a big deal to me. I will try to ost some pictures hear in a couple minutes.

spend the extra money to get a better fitting hood like seibon, it will be cheaper in the long run.

My bumper isnt bolted on since the car is not running, so it is sagging a bit, but you get the idea.
