i think the prices seem inconsistent.

Big items like the hood and the rear trunk are decently priced.

but for smaller items, it seems so expensive. Like the rear lip.

BMW, Audi and Merc original carbon parts are sold, around 30% cheaper.

i think the prices here may be too high.

Sorry for keeping you guys waiting
Here you go! Some pics of the CF OEM style hood on Nebula Gray.

Right after the installation, still in the garage

It definitely doest show as much contrast as on white
I would think it'll look better on F-Sport

but I like the subtle look of it.

The pics of the future products I have from Seibon are all on white F-Sport models

glad you like it, but be informed, it is very not noticeable at night from a distance.
But i have door projectors and blue interior lights shining brights at night, it surely attracts people to come and take a look

It stands out on a lighter colored car because it blends in with the darker color.

looks sick on both white and grey cars! personally i like it on the grey more because it's more subtle!

quick question: was it difficult to remove oem and install the cf one? i'm getting one for my 2is and was wondering if anyone has any insight ?

If you are installing it yourself, you should have someone to help you. Im not sure about 2IS, but for mine, transferring the heat shield, removing all the clips was annoying, and the windshield washer, other than that it's basically bolt on and align

Also, if you are transferring the heat shield from the stock hood to CF hood, you have to drill holes for those clips, the CF hood has all the holes marked.
