Thread: RE - Carbon Creations B13 Hoods and Trunks Group Buy

It would be nice if you could show what the hood looked like WHEN you received it, not after normal wear and tear.

As an aside, some proof that you've only owned the hood for a short duration would help.

I have no vested interest in the group buy; I don't even own a B13. I'm just trying to be fair and unbiased. You don't find many reviews claiming as you have on the interwebz in other car communities.

PS - You should have taken high quality/high res photographs, zoomed out a bit as well.

There's no way for anyone looking at the pictures to determine whether the cracks in gel coat were from abuse, or normal wear. Same goes for rounded corners, etc.

I also have a question for Cherry

Was your car ever in an accident??

That hood looks way off thats probally why they made the guy tryimg to start the group buy send a hood and trunk....why not try to get another gb with seibon i know they made hoods and trunks on the other forum

Tbh with you cf parts never and i really do mean never perfect. And lets take in to account its a hood. If the temps from where you live are really cold and you turn on your car it warms up it can heat up the hood and make that ripple effect. Remember its not paint they are fibers. And it is alot more delicate. i honestly think its from heat. Maybe you have a turbo and its too close to the hood etc. Not all may experience those issues. Sorry bro. Just throwing out my .02

Yeah i know cf is never perfect but that is way off there is a huge gap on both sides so its not a matter of adjusting and to the op put some pics showing the whole hood

i am only trying to save all you guys a headache i dont need an argument!!! the out of the box looked like this except the corner was not missing, i called about this they were supposed to take it back but they never handled this. the corners where rounded out of the box they are deep dark black circles showing plus a big out line of shadows, ill get some more pics of this ion the am and try better, no my car was never in accident, it took oem hood off and on with this one. this was my first cf hood so i didnt know and throught out the year everytime i look at it i get pissed off with it... again i was only looking out for u guys. im not happy with em

also oem fitment was fine. i even had to pull in my fenders for this so the gap wasnt so big

Damn. Yeah my CF hood definitely fits better than that. Thats a lot of space between the fender and hood. Those rounded corners would bother me as well. Idk boys...

Again I ask, was your car in a wreck of any sorts?? You seem to have avoided my question (and front end hood alignment means NOTHING as it can be adjusted)

well then again yourself and learn to read i told you in previous post 4 or 5 above this
