What did you do to fix the problem of not having the hood vent? i Searched but cant find a good solution...

 

What kind of problem do you think you will have with no vent? Turbo'd cars have been running ventless hoods for many years. You will have a little more heat under the hood, but no significant problems will arise.

 

Which hood from seibon?

 

oem

the problems will be sh*t loads of water going into the engine bay, not to mention it will get dirty as hell

 

So are you saying the problem is having the vent hood or not having the vent?

 

Stay away from Seibon. The quality of their work has gone downhill in their recently made products. Everything from horrible weave to cracking of the clearcoat directly from the factory. I have seen 5 recent Seibon hoods, all with either one or more of the problems listed.

Look towards high quality hoods such as the one from Robi of Robispec. It's very possible for a CF hood, such as Seibon, that uses a fiberglass hood with CF laid on top to weigh more than the stock hood.

 

thanks for wasting 30 secs of my life, this had nothing to do with the post.

 

ok were the vent is there, is supposed to be a cover under there. the stock one has the has openings for air to get out but keeps alot of the rain out. The piece that came with the seibon hood is a full cover - it doesnt have opening for air to get out. The stock hood vent doesnt fit at all, therefore im wondering what other people have done to keep things out while still getting the hot air out

 

It is off topic but he is not lying. My hood is the same way. If you did not buy it yet, don't. The poor quality cracks very easy and seibon tries to lie and say people are slamming there hoods and crap so they will not cover it. They will not deal with customers direct.

 

great thanks , if i didnt buy the hood yet, how do you think i know there is no cover for the vent?

BACK ON TOPIC

 

It wont hurt having it on, im sure you could cut your own slots in the piece they give you....for mine i will take it completely off, but since its snowing and to keep all the snow from falling in, im just keeping the piece they gave me on there till summer. For the stock vent, i didnt look real close but i was guessing you could drill new screws into the hood to put the stock vent on. But also i think all carbon fiber hoods come with the same type plastic vent with no cuts, my vis hood was the same way

 

Simple the website you buy it from informs you or the vendor you talk with tells you it does not include one.

And take the one off your oem hood.

 

Wow, ive always thought seibon hoods were 100% carbon... and quality... sorry for offtopic but wow... never heard a bad thing about them besides the bad factor clear on them.

 

no i didnt, and second the oem one doesnt fit i already stated that! it isnt even close its a completely different size

 

thanks for the first good post, i was thinking that but i wanted to make sure there werent any other options, guess ill leave it on till summer
