Default kaminari cf hood

any one have any issues with this hood as yet? I know by now there are people that have had them installed for some time so any rusting issues on the little grills or fading mishaps? and in addition please specify your dealer and price as well thanks

I haven't had any issues with mine. I have had it since July but i bought it from my friend who had a tc before he totalled it. The hood was obviously saved with no damage what so ever. But yeah, no rust or cracking of any matter. I love my hood!!! Oh by the way...he supposedly bought it for 800 and i bought it from him for 400.

I've had mine on the car for almost a year. I bought it from a private party, when she was trading in her tC. She had it on her tC about 6 months or so before me.

The only thing I have had problems with is since I installed my turbo, the nuts that hold the grill on it tend to come loose. I need to get a Stiffy to help with the vibrations, so I can hardly blame the hood for that...

mine isnt CF but i stil have had no problems with it. the fabrication was stellar, fitment the best i've seen on aftermarket, and quality thru the roof. the vent doesnt rust i think its aluminum. and the cowl comes down at its lowest point right over top the radiator so it isnt prone to heat issues as much...unless u have a high mounted type of turbo. which i have never heard of any clearance issues.

I've had my CF on forrrrr... over a year now and have absolutely no issues. No fading, cracking, rusting, etc.

I purchased from www.houseofscion.com and fully recommend them
