And your trying to say, this thread has nothing to do with the fact your running a group buy on "other" carbon fiber hoods?

You claim "excellent" fitment but yet there is atleast a 1/2" gap from the front of the hood to the bumper, more so on the right side then the left. How about the gap on the left fender? Thats atleast 1/4" if not 1/3" and the corner of the hood doesn't align with the top of the fender. These are jsut like the Seibon issues and can be fixed with proper installation, not a "5 minute job" that you did.

If your going to give an "honest" review on a product atleast give it unbias.

All of the things you mentioned are common adjustments needed for ANY aftermarket hood.

The gap on the Seibon is exactly the same. I did not point that out (why point it out of if the two hoods I've seen both have the same gaps?), but I did post pictures showing the gap on mine, nothing hidden there!

I don't understand your defensiveness, unless maybe you work for Seibon?

It's called business ethics. It's a shame seeing these new "shops" pop up out of their basement. Giving a poor review to boost your own sales is POOR business ethics, period.


and yes, all hail me

I do know ALOT about carbon fiber. Anyone with fitment issues can PM me for help, I actually have experience installing them.

I saw nothing wrong with his review - and in no way thought that he was trying to boost his own sales. I found the review straightforward and honest with pictures as well. Cali yaris isnt force feeding his product on anyone by down playing anyone elses carbon fiber products - just the opposite, he explained the details of his own hoods honestly and professionally and said if you want to spend the money than by all means buy a siebon hood...attacking his credibility or his business practices is just uncalled for, period.
