Carbon Fiber Hood by Seibon

Lots of people like the look of CF parts - that doesn't make them wanna-bes.

If a Seibon hood is a "wanna-be" part, then why bother getting any exterior mods for the ISF? Lip kits, spoilers, window tint, visors, grills, etc don't provide any performance benefit - we get them because it dresses-up the appearance of the car. Even some aftermarket wheels are worse for performance, but we still put them on the car.

99% of that stuff just looks like *** and most of it is poorly built garbage.

Like wearing a clip on tie.

Just sayin...
I'm not really one to senselessly bash someone else's products and I haven't had too much experience with Seibon products on a personal level but I have heard things.
I will say though for every bad thing I hear about Seibon I usually hear about the same amount of good. It is really all about what you're really looking for and what you expect.
If someone is selling a product for a bargan price then they could only put so much into making that product. In the end everyone needs to make a profit to stay in business. I'm sure Seibon isn't promising that their hood is the best in the world. It's just a carbon fiber hood for those who want one.
Now in other cases like the carbon fiber pieces by Ventross...I can personally say for a fact (and no I don't work for them) that their carbon fiber pieces are very high quality.
Everything Ventross makes is dry vaccum bagged carbon fiber not wet. And they use some of the best coating available to ensure that there isn't any discoloration or UV damage.
I'm not sure how much lighter the Ventross boot lid is than the stock trunk but to provide an example...before we changed it..the trunk popper button would do just that..."pop" open the trunk a bit so it could be lifted...
After installing the Ventross boot lid pressing the trunk popper button fully opens the trunk. It's litterally light enough for the popper to lift the lid all the way up...it was actually pretty cool.

Isn't this off topic? This thread is about Seibon not ventross.

I'm not sure you read my entire post. I was talking about Seibon I was merely making a comparison to Ventross.
The reason why I mentioned the trunk is because on the first page it was being questioned if a CF hood really had any weight improvement over the stock piece.
