Hi everyone!

Im a big Fan of TCs! i just came over from CSTC.

I just wanted to know what i need to install my Seibon hood.

Just wrench or what? its supposed to arrive at my house in like... an hour hahah x]

 

ratchet, 14mm socket and a friend

or was it 12mm (I can't remember so have both just in case, unless someone else wants to chime in)

 

i don't know if seibon is the same as kanamari, but the bolts they gave me were different size than the OEM bolts. So, a 14 and whatever seibon gives you.

 

oh, and another person, because holding it up while trying to bolt it down is not fun by yourself, even if it is CF.

 

I have kaminari and used stock bolts

troof

 

I cant take off the water hose without taking off the black part on the OEM hood?

how do i take the black part off? i tried pulling it pretty damn hard lol

 

Pop out the black tabs

 

Now i have a second issue i put the hood on aligned and everything but now

The Nozzle wont fit through the Seibon Vis II hood...

can someone help me out? How do i put the water hose through as well?

 

ill post pictures when i get home from work... driving now with the hood screwed in by washers and

without the sprayer~ Thanks for any tips!

 

Hey man, sounds pretty to install minus the washer nozzles, etc. Were the holes predrilled? Also, what is the approximate weight difference b/w the hoods? Feedback much appreciated.

 

The holes were pre-drilled for the washer nozzle...

I read around ALOT and it seems i have to use a dremel and drill it a little bigger.
Great x[

Anyways

Weight Differance? HUGE!!!

and thats not an exaggeration.

It took me and another strong guy to carry the OEM. Both of us work out and id like to think we are stronger than the average guy.

I could carry the CF one by myself. EASILY.

 

the dremel is basically the only way to drill out the washer nozzle. or other preferred method of doing the same thing. i wish mine were pre drilled on the kanamari. they just have dimples of where they should go. so i'm rocking no nozzles because i'm lazy

 

Seriously? OEM hood weighs maybe 50lbs max. I carried mine to put in my greenhouse holding only the latch. My carbon fiber hood one can be picked up using one finger on the hatch.
