I'm looking at one on this page:
http://www.andysautosport.com/products.php?id=Ni89240sx&make=Nissan&mcat=Hoods&scat=Carbon%20Fiber%20Hoods
Its for the 89-94 RPS13's w/ two scoops. Kinda looks like a CWest but in Carbon. :) Item #:HD8994NS240-DV from this page.
Andy's has only a file photo so I was hoping someone had a pic of the actual Seibon hood I'm looking for. I was originally considering the Yashio Factory, BN Sports, and Stout hoods but they're a lil too much. So...Seibon sounds good to me. From what I've heard they have similar quality as VIS's carbon hoods.
Thanks in advance every1! I'm going back 2 sleep :zzz:

hood was just test fitted, so I couldnt really tell how the vents functioned..
The siebon is prolly nicer,, otherwise they all copy each other..

Ok so the Seibon hood is the same as the CWings hood then?
I'm just wondering if the scoops rise from the surface of the hood (Hypertek's) or are they more flush to the surface (like the Stout vented hoods)?

im sure the seibon is different.. its a cleaner looking design.. more rounded.. Go for it. Havent heard any bad things about that brand.. but im too cheap to pay that price on a cf hood.

Damn my local shop had a group buy for some seibon cf hoods and i totally missed out. I guess these are better compared to lets say VIS.

Sounds good. I just want the scoops to be much smoother looking, just like the authentic CWest hood. In comparison to the hood from CWings, where the scoops are protruding and not too smooth looking.
I'm going to order it from Andy's Auto Sport within the next two weeks. They guarantee the cheapest prices for Seibon products. Why not right? I'll post some pix of it on my unpainted car as soon as it comes in. :)

OK I'm frikkin paranoid now.
I go to Seibon's site and search around. I find the hoods for the 95-96 and 97-98 240's and they have two rows of scoops (the way I like):

But, then I figure: OK, thats for a wide hood, how about a car with retractables? Would the scoops be different?"
To answer this was a search for the DV Style for an AE86. Look what I find:

NOOO! I want two rows of scoops like the CWest...NOOO! Anyways, I realized how stupid I am and just e-mailed them for clarification. I'll post when they let me know...

If you want it to be like C-West then get C-West
