The part the OP is referring to is installed with 3M VHB tape.. Seibon denying him the opportunity to swap it with another part if this is truly an isolated issue.
Btw, supermassive, your car looks hot!! In my opinion it would look good with some white on the hood with just small amounts of carbon showing so it looks more like accents as your wheels do. Either way, looks great and I'm glad you're happy with your hood!!  |
Thank you for the comments, the hood is getting painted to match the car and I will be leaving the vent strakes CF for a little contrast. Trust me I believe you when you say you had a bad time with Seibon, it's bound to happen with any company, and yes now that i know how Seibon's customer service is treating the OP I won't be purchasing from them again until they rectify the situation. My point was that surprisingly enough I feel like what i got from Seibon was dead on. I measured the gaps on my hood and was satisfied with what i got, yes the right side gap is about 1mm wider than the left, that is hardly enough for me to complain about. Especially since my stock hood wasn't perfect either...the fact that it was the same color as the rest of the car hid the gaps better. I have a feeling that when the hood is painted the difference will be unnoticeable. This is one of those things i was seriously worried about when i bought the hood, I've seen other CF hoods that we're way way worse as far as fit.
Yeah i have the same SN lip, i used 3M tape and it fits perfect, I didn't need to force anything...I had commented to the OP when he originally put it on that i would have been furious and demanded a new lip if mine looked like his...apparently Seibon is being a ****. So I'm not condoning or even suggesting people should buy the products, just that there are some of us who didn't get screwed and actually love the look of the parts.
I don't try to be a white knight for brands that are obviously sticking it to their customers and that's not what i am getting at. I honestly think that as a community we should put Seibon in it's place...the customer is always right is good business practice, especially when dealing with car communities.
