recent quality and fitment from vis / seibon - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

eagleeyes221 · 03-24-2017, 07:17 AM

Hey everyone sorry if Im in the wrong section. I don't really post much on the forums. Im looking for people with recent purchases of VIS or Seibon hoods to comment on the quality and fitment coming from the factories. i did a forum search and the last reviews I've seen were from 2015. Im in the market for a new hood in OEM trim but Im hesitant to purchase one from either company. From what I have gathered its a crap shoot as far as fitment with either company. My only other option is spend twice as much for a Chargespeed hood but im not familiar with fitment / quality from them. Id like to get some opinions first before I do anything. Thanks for the help everyone

I have chargespeed frp tailgate and bonnet (s13) and the fitment is spot on.

We deal with Seibon at one of my jobs, always good fitment.

I've always had good fitment with Seibon products. The OE style hood i bought for my S13 was almost perfect. The trunk I had on my Kouki was perfect. On the other hand, the VIS trunk for my coupe sucked in just about every way possible and when I went to buy a hood for my Kouki, the Seibon I had a minor fitment issue that was remedied by installing the hood pins(which you should use anyways)

I don't. Haven't had a hood come through in a while, however we are an authorized dealer and located in Bloomfield, CT. So if you wanna order one, drop me a message.
