personally.... I would refuse to order from them based on what I've seen from their website. Check it out... http://www.jtrsport.com/sf/en-us/dept_135.html
They're trying to sell that as the "Veilside Style" body kit... more like GTR, is it not? It even says it on the side of the car!
:-/ some companies.......

redtibby, can you possibly take some pics and post them? is there only one reverse vent? your review will be very important to a lot of people, so make it as detailed as possible...
for the price of that hood, i might just go with a blue kevlar color cf hood from here. blue weave would look sweet as hell on a black car i think.

another thing about this site is 1) it is the Club GTR kit 2) it says that it comes with a rear bumper, when the GTR kit comes with the two rear add-ons. i kno if u have seen the kit, it looks like a bumper replacement, but its the rear lips molded on. i got in contact with one of the distributors and was pissed to find out about the false advertising. 3) if a company can't even get the name of the body kit right, even tho its on the side of the car, what does that say?

tibby01......I have some pictures of the hoods off of ebay from that company...its not the one with the kevlar weave , just regular carbon fiber.....the fit around the headlights is not that great . about 1/8- 1/4" gap. I emailed the company regarding this twice and have gotten no reply. I will see if i can find the pics and post them.

I found a picture of the carbon fiber hood that is for sale on ebay....they sell regular carbon fiber and carbon fiber with colored kevlar woven in...As you can see in th epicture the front of the hood does not fit around the headlights, This gaping would worry me at high speeds...even with the hood pins. I emailed the company to ask about this problem and I have gotten no response back. I know the person that sent me this picture said he was not worried about the gapping but for me it does not fit good enough. you be the judge.

hey guys i called my shipping company and my hood will arrive btwn 2-4 pm tomm. afternoon. I told a bunch of people i would get some pics up when i got it so if anyone has any questions about it start hittin up this topic. Its the Erebuni vented style. I don't know anyone else who has one of these so i am hoping that it will prove to be a great item with good fitment. if anyone needs picture for there site just ask me. i know importshark.com wants some and i think this site needs an updated picture. i might do a trial fit but it wont be going on the car til the spring.
