Carbon Fiber Hood Fitment Question.

[CHID0]

does your hood shake or anything at high speeds say around 50-80 mph?

It rattles a bit at highway speeds and has been like that for a few years.

My VIS invader hood shakes like crazy..even after installing my locking hood pins the hood still wobbles at highway speeds.
Im in a debate about stock hood or oem cf hood now also..

ive had both Seibon and VIS....It like my Seibon hood a bit more. It seems like its heavier built around the hood latch than the VIS one was, although the VIS was well built.

Fitment with both companies were great, never had an issue with any fitment.

Hood rattles...yea. With both companies equally. Rattles around at highway speeds, but nothing you would notice unless you look for it. I had pins in the VIS hood because it warped after 4 years. No pins in the Seibon hood so far, although once it warps i will...(warping is common over time with CF)

VIS Hood:

Seibon Hood:

Also...my grille isnt OEM, I think some of the gap comes from the fact the upper part dips a little bit..but same grille on both hoods

i don't run pins on mine either and so far it's all good.. (barely installed it about 1-2 week ago though) but i gone 105mph ish on it and no issues what so ever

That's good to know! Mine goes on this week.
