Well folks the wait is over! We have the Seibon Carbon RS pics fresh from SEMA this morning. Hood, front lip, bumper cover, side skirts, rear wing, rear hatch and rear diffuser.

Feast your eyes, praise, critique & discuss. Just give me a little time to get the details and pricing and we can start working on some great pricing and start placing orders!

Check out the goods from Anderson Composites Here!!

I heard you like lips so we put a lip on your lip...

Semi-unrelated: how difficult is it to paint CF? Weight savings would be great (especially over the front) but I'm not interested if it's not body-colored.

Not difficult at all. Any body shop can handle the task! All of my CF was painted on my S2000.

Yes the vents are functional. FRP skeleton with carbon overlay.

No details until I can talk to my rep on Monday

Awaiting pricing.

You and me both!

Are the diffuser pieces only attachments? It doesn't appear to be all carbon and retains the OEM diffuser.

Correct. I think it's probably all one piece though.

Oooof! Looks delicious....but all to familiar with Seibon prices....it's gonna sting!

in for weights

Is there any data to validate the functionality of the vents? In theory, I could drill a hole and say it is a functional vent because it allows the exchange of air from one side of the bonnet to the other. But I'd sure like to see some flow-vis pictures.

 

[SEBOTAJ]

Please tell me this is going to be available in a matte finish

 

[MK.03.RS]

Complete Hatch Glass removal/Refit + Wing might be a tricky job.

If it isn't then Xpel Stealth would be a nice option and it would protect the piece too.

Is that spoiler taller and/or wider? Looks good.

 

[Ir0nxChefx]

I'm interested in that hood

I get healthy discounts on Seibon, I'll ease the pain.

The point of carbon aero components aren't just looks and weight savings. There is definitely engineering involved, front lips and diffusers are designed to function, vented hoods are designed to dissipate heat. Will I be able to get any testing results from Seibon on the kind of temps the vented hoods alleviate? I don't know but I will certainly inquire about it!

That is yet to be mentioned. Matte carbon is always more pricey than the gloss. Based off Seibon's catalog, there's usually a couple pieces that they will do in matte. Thanks for inquiring, I will add this to my list of questions!
