Seibon CF hatch pics + review

[cali yaris]

I got the Seibon CF hatch installed and I have a mixed review for you.

Exterior is VERY nice, glossy, even weave with great lines and fitment. Please NOTE that this only comes in 1 x 1 weave, so it won't match the majority of other CF parts that are available. You'd also have to get the Seibon hood to have the same weave front and back.

Interior is a problem.
1. The interior plastic cover does not fit. It may be possible to locate the trouble and cut some holes, etc. but I think for the price we shouldn't have to. I left it off for now.

2. The shocks don't fit. Because of their placement on the hatch, the lower ball joint hits the frame of the car, making it impossible to close completely. I just too mine off for now until I can come up with a fix (I'm not sure I can).

3. The exterior skin is THIN. If you wiggle the latch handle you can see the skin flexing too easily. I can tell you right now, there will be stress cracks in that area before too long.

So, looks great outside, but there is WORK to do to complete the job.

Here are a couple of quick pics. (yes, I painted the roof!!)
