    Have had mine for about a year now. Aligning the latches was a little bit of a pain but worth it. Lowered my on track temps buy 15-20 degress according to my datalogging. I run it in rain, snow, carwash and no big deal. Love it!

      I thought waster was an issue, you're saying no issues at all with water getting in those places? Like the water that does happen to get in isn't an issue?

      Yes..another isf owner with this hood.Runs his car thru the car wash with no problems .others leave the cars outside rain and snow no problem...I wouldnt recommend doing those things ,but doesn't seem to affect anything at all ..hape this helps...thank you for the support on channel..👍 like and subscribe.

    Thank you for making this video!! It's kinda sad that in the US not one company has attempted this. Hats off to JMA!

      Thanks for watching! I totally agree.. that's the drawback from having a very low production car.. company's don't think they can make a buck I guess.

    CFRP hoods don't weigh any less than the factory aluminum hood. This one is sick af.

    I got the hood and the roof, very good quality work, hardest part was bending the pins to align with latches but other than that install was easy, all carbon fiber no fiberglass, I also had mine forged carbon on the inner side of the hood , I love it 👌👌👌

    Do you feel it’s worth the 1800? Does it feel cheap at all? I don’t want to put something flimsy feeling on mine. Any insight I’m on the fence but do love the look. Thanks

    • @samiboost404
      @samiboost404  ปีที่แล้ว

      Worth it hands down....not flimsy at all very stiff (full high quality carbon)...it's $2300-2400.. shipped with tax . looks even better in real life...carbon has depth.plus its automotive fully cleared..it's a higher quality hood...at a lower price point compared to all others..it's the best option...

    Finally got my hood in an having a hell of a time getting the angle for the hood latch to line up on the frame of the car. Not to mention the very tight space trying to get the latch screw/bolt even in with the headlight in the way. how did you install them? Did you have to weld or drill anything on the frame to align it?

    • @samiboost404
      @samiboost404  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi...Cut one inch off the latch bolts....and trim the inside of the hood latch a bit.... enough that bolts will slide through.
