Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior ebay carbon fiber hoods...

any of you guys ordered carbon fiber hoods from ebay? how was it? im thinkin bout getin a invader hood from ebay. thanks

horrible, oem style, didnt line up, nad Carbon Fiber, chipped..CRAP basically..u get what you pay for

Only buy them if they're VIS...everything else is

or seibon

There is one gent who does pretty good work on ebay, he does colored Carbon Fiber and is gettin raves. I'm kinda like everyone else tho, russian roulette on the bay! Never really know till U get it. Seibon probly best or APR if they cuttem.

yup. seibon > vis.

i wouldn't buy a carbon fiber hood that wasn't branded. it's hard to find seibon hoods on ebay but vis hoods are all over it--and grade a quality at that.

an vis oem hood usually ships for around $500 on ebay, which is great. you really can't ask for more than that.

Yeah, see them all over but, probly best to get precious parts like those str8 from EC or seibon. Carbon Fiber gets all fkdup in the big brown truck!Feelin me?

you get what you pay for with Carbon Fiber

A-men!

yea its a vis invader hood that im wanting to buy... somone mentioned that it was grade a carbon fiber.. is that good?

go for grade AA if you getting the invader hood...as with ebay its wid who you buy from...check their feedback rating...if its at 98.7 with over 1000 sales...ur good to go...lemme see if i can find the guy that i bought my hood from

Urs is phat dude!

I got mine off ebay. It was fairly good quality. No bubbles in the clearcoat, the weave was flawless. The edges were a bit rough, but the fitment was pretty good. If you look in my profile, there's a gap at the bottom of the hood, but that's just cause my dumbass didn't tighten down the hood evenly with those hoodpins.

looks like crap, if it's cheap then the material must be cheap!
