It would seem not. That's one of the reasons I'm not going with Erebruni.

Seems to be a recuring problem with Erebuni. I have heard of the same problems with people ordering body kits, long shipping delays or damaged products. It seems to me that if you get a good product that fits well from any company you should consider yourself lucky. Best of luck with your hood and body kit.

I purchased carbon fiber hoods from 2 different companies and bioth hoods had bad fitment problems.....after a long fight with each company and my credit card company I was able to return both hoods for full refunds.......needless to say I have completely given up on finding a carbon hood that fit like it should for our car, I feel the curves around our headlights make it very difficult to make a mass produced carbon hood that will fit like a stock hood.



you may want to check with 01importshark.....he was waiting on a ebruni hood but i have not heard if he got it yet or if it fit right

the sharkracing hood fit really bad in the front around the headlights and on the sides.......the one i got off of ebay fit around the sides but stuck up about 1/8 to 1/4 of a inch above the headlights around the curves and I was worried about how that would react with wind getting under the hood at high speeds. anyway its all good for me since I now have put the hood money in to more and better upgrades.

I ordered a c/f hood today. I got it through a shop close by. They order it direct from VIS. They deal with lots of VIS stuff.
I should get the hood in a few weeks.

I hope it fits ok.

Looks good......BUT..... $620 is a bit expensive for a hood thats not double sided CF

i agree with the price being high for fibreglass with carbon fiber over top of it and the true test will come once he fully installs it.
