I bought my OEM Seibon hood from a shop local to me in Az its called vividracing and they are cool guys there. You can go to their website at vividracing.com and get their number and im sure they could give you the freight shipping prices and everything else.

Check with No Limitz Industries @ 480-332-4019. Talk to Jeremy. He's a member here & a very cool guy. I believe he's a Siebon distributor & I know he runs their CF hood & hatch on his Gen 2, which is an amazing ride. Oh yeah, happy belated BD..//TJ

I appreciate it guys. Found a hood though. and another help question I have for you guys is. . . .

What Are You Doing To Protect It? I bought some clear vinyl .. . and it sucks. didnt work at all. and I dont know about a bra, like the xB logo one. . . I dunno if ittl rub bad. How do you keep chips and stuff from happening?

well to protect it from fading i wax it probably once every 2 months due to it always being sunny here but i haven't found anything to protect it from chips and stuff like that.

Ive had the Seibon SC hood on my car for almost three years now. I love the hood, excellent construction and fitment, but if your car is not garage kept it will fade and/or discolor, hence why its now painted flat black. I waxed it regularly, but last summer it started to show something that looked like water spots beneath or in the resin. The hood supposedly came with a UV protection clear coat, but this may need to be refreshed periodically to upkeep the look.
