Seibon Products: Found out something VERY interestin'...

Hi All,

Well, I've had a couple Seibon hoods in the past and I was always impressed by their fitment and quality. The ONLY thing that bothered me though was that it seemed like they only offered their products in one type of CF weave: Twill. I happen to not be the biggest fan of twill weave and my FD has all plain weave CF parts on it. Because of that I sold the hoods that I had. I don't like to have mis-matching CF weaves all over my car so I figured I wouldn't be able to purchase Seibon products.

Anyways, I recently found out that although all Seibon products are made in Twill Weave CF *IF* you know the right people you can request them in plain weave as well

. Well, I happen to know the right people...LoL. Just thought I'd share since I was super excited to hear this news. Even though it's not a readily accessibly option it is an option

.

Also, I found out that I'll be able to get Seibon products that have minor imperfections (Fish Eyes in CF; Small Irregularities in Weave; Wrong Bolt Threads; etc.) for substantial discounts. I didn't know this was even an option and apparently it's not, but you know what they say...anything is possible. These won't have warranties though which is the only drawback, but if price is the factor nothing will come close.

Finally, the BEST news of all! Well actually...I'll wait to disclose this one

Take Care,
Rizwan
