I understand about the winters. When you get it could you also let us know how long it took to get the hood, from the time you ordered it. That would be awesome, Thanks.

I was just on Ebay lookin up Tibby stuff, and found this car:

looks like an erebuni reverse vented hood, I am not too fond of the fitment on the front of it. 01importshark, perhaps your hood will be a better fit, I know that 2 of my freinds that got c/f hoods for their elantras, all the hoods were a different fitment so we will have to see.

hey man thats the discontinued SR hood. you can tell by the two seperate vents in the hood as opposed to the erebuni one vent. i called HP.com today and they said erebuni is going to ship it ou in a couple weeks. so prob end of dec. or beg. of jan hopefully. i might do a rough fit to check.

yeah SR doesn't sell their hood anymore :-( I wouldn't buy anything from VIS, simply because they sell fake Veilside kits and I can't imagine how much of their crap is rip off molds.

once you get your hood I would do a quick test fit just to manke sure it fits. After having tried 2 different carbon hoods and both having really bad fitment I have given up on carbon fiber hoods for the tib......seems that all the hoods i have had and have seen dont fit around our headlights.....also the fatser you find a problem the easier it will be to get a refund....even if you have to go through your credit card company to get it done...like I had to do with my sharkracing hood. Also in your case i would want to do a quick test because i have heard mixed reviews regarding body kits fitting corectly from ebruini so i am curious to see how there hoods line up.
