Eddyf93 50 Report post Posted March 3, 2016 So I'm doing away with the rocket bunny lip, and decided to go for the vertex front lip as a replacement. It showed up today, so hopefully be painted up tomorrow and on the car this weekend 1 SL03JOE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddyf93 50 Report post Posted March 4, 2016 Second parcel off the week came today, and my favourite of all parts I've bought for the car. A massive thank you to James @ amber performance for hooking me up with this, and the little bit of discount he gave with it, not to mention the super fast delivery! So yeah, my seibon Ts style carbon bonnet 3 MangoNo5, Keethos and SL03JOE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddyf93 50 Report post Posted March 5, 2016 Fits lovely! Even gap at either side, so I'm happy! The only problem I've found is that where the front edge meets the bumper, it's a bit short so sits behind the rubber seal instead of on it, although it does still seal. So the next step is just to extended the bolt holes and pull the bonnet forward. Luckily the back corners don't line up perfectly, so by bringing it forward it should solve all the problems. Probably about half hours work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
long-gone 152 Report post Posted March 5, 2016 Nice one. Are you going to leave it as-is, or wrap or paint it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just going to leave it as is, I love the carbon look so don't want to cover it. The clear coat on it now is a little bit hazey, so I might even just give it a coat of lacquer and work and Polish it up 2 long-gone and SL03JOE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddyf93 50 Report post Posted March 12, 2016 So after having the bonnet fitted over a week, I've finally got pictures of it on. Headed over to paintkillers to get a few seibon stickers made up, so little, yet such a difference 7 Lauren, Deacon, Jamie_GRMN and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slight problem with getting the bonnet to push down on the sensor when closed though, so the car was thinking a door was open and not allowing me to lock it. Have done a temporary fix for now, but even that won't take long to sort the issue, it's just finding the time to do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's quite easy to lose sight of the lines on black and carbon, and I feel the stickers kind of make them lines stand out a lot more and makes it look a lot better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The front in general can in general look wide and flat rather than as 'sharky' as it should. Anything that accentuates the bonnet length works well - the vents in yours do that, but I've also seen good results with stripes as well.

rob275 1817 Report post Posted March 12, 2016 it does look to be a better fit than some. @Keethos had a right mare with his seibon parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they've remade it for a better fit, because this has very little to complain about. I'd love to hear about and see pictures of keethos' though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted March 12, 2016 Don't know if I've got any decent pics of it but essentially the bonnet arches too much so if the front of the bonnet is flush with the front bumper, the edges by the fenders over the wheel arches arc up further leaving a bigger noticable gap. But to be fair, I think mine are even worse because of the Seibon Fenders, they were by far the biggest issue as they required a lot of fettling and their instructions even tells you to.

Eddyf93 50 Report post Posted March 12, 2016 Did you have a seibon boot by any chance? Thinking about getting one, but now I'm slightly worried about fitment issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 13, 2016 I think all you can Eddy is look at other cars with a Seibon boot fitted. I'm not sure if expecting OEM shut lines for such an expensive part is realistic, but IMO they don't fit like OEM panels do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
