So far I have the SEDAN area confirmed. Still looking for someone with the hatchback/liftback. I have one tentative person, but haven't heard a reply or confirmation yet.

Hmmm I think you mean the other way around.... The HB/LB exists in 3 and 5 doors, and this would be what the CF hood is designed for, but the sedan has a very different hood.

Anyway be sure to get the cars to test, and... PICS!

Sure will. Right now I have 2 tentative people for the hatch.

1. CHTHHULHU - Awaiting confirmation
2. 03Z33 - 2nd in line if the 1st person has to back out.

Here's a good Q ... how much will these go on the market for?

Now here's something I don't get. I see the Seibon hood going for over $500. The hood for the LB is half the size of any other car that is on the road today. Why is the price still just as high as the others? I mean you are literally using half of the material that you would for any other car no? So wouldn't that make the hood more affordable?

Anyone else feeling me on this one?

FYI - my ViS full CF(not CF over fiberglass like some) Lincoln Navigator hood, was around $500 shipped from the west coast.

This tiny little Yaris hood should be know where near that....... i would hope not anyway.

I totally understand, but I think it's mostly because it's a "New Item". The manufacturer sets the price point, and these gradually comes down as the demand goes down for them.

I'll get the price for you. Is the SEIBON hood $500 plus shipping? I can get them to you for probably less shipped or so through VIS as I'm running a GB for the Honda/Nissan folks on other forums although I've been able to attach different makes and models for those interested. I don't want to post any info here out of respect for your site supporters/vendors.
