I need to get something off my chest. It has to do with Seibon. I bought a CF OEM style hood and trunk from them.
Going into this I knew that fitment was not going to be perfect. I have made the necessary modifications to make the trunk fit.
My complaint is the way it's made. Their wet carbon fiber RX8 trunk and hood are nothing more than fiberglass with a single layer of carbon fiber for the look. If it was just the underside bracing that's one thing, but the entire panel is made this way.
Granted the trunk is much lighter than factory, but if they used all CF like most of us would assume, it could be much less weight.
Is it really wrong for me to be a little upset? I understand every manufacturer is going to have a different production process but I feel a little mislead.
I am in no way bad mouth Siebon as a company. The salesman on the phone was super nice, the products were packaged very carefully, and the overall finish was great.
Take this as you will. I'm just venting. Sorry.
Vent over.
