Looking for honest opinions about this CF hood

Eyeing this new version from Seibon, but have mixed feelings. Part of me thinks it looks bad ass, but the other part is worried it may look too ricer/Pep Boys Parts Special on the Tacoma. Just looking to see what the masses on TW think about it.

I saw the original thread on the first version of the hood, but there wasn't much discussion on this new version.





Edit: Here is their version without the side scoops

 

I think it looks cool.

 

Very Ricer, does match the Super Street visor decal though. Thumbs down for both for me, I would actually be embarrassed to park it in my driveway with that combo, just me though, others may have differing opinions.

 

Doesn't look right IMO. Too Fast, Too Furious.

 

That depends, do you live your life a 1/4 mile at a time? If not I would skip it.

 

what color is your truck?

It may look ok on a darker color, looks awful on that truck.

 

you should not care what I think.

Since you asked though...it's way too aggressive and intimidating

 

"Super Street" sticker

 

Unless the truck is magnetic gray or black, I’d paint it color matched to the body.

 

I don’t love it. I don’t hate it. Little too busy for me. Maybe without the center scoop might look a little better?

 

dang that's the most broverland truck ive seen yet.

The super street banner really tops it off

 

It is Darth Vader mode

 

It's a very "controversial" look... but I personally, like it.

I love carbon fiber, I love scoops, I love louvers... However, I'm not sure I'd trust a CF hood to fit like OEM, I'd definitely run hood pins, and I'm not sure how well that thing will last with constant UV exposure.

 

So what does my opinion matter to you?
If you like it and need a way to hand over your excess spending money, go for it.
Personally, I see it serving no practical purpose.
As far as appearance goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - my opinion is irrelevant.

um, did your current hood go bad?

 

If someone wants to rock it on their truck because they think it looks cool, all the power to them. It sounds a lot lighter than the stock hood though. Stock is heavy AF and people swap to synthetic winch lines just to save some weight up front so swapping to a carbon hood might be a good idea for some people.

 

Is it actually lighter than the stock hood?

 

That truck looks retarded I would be ashamed to be seen in that

 

I'd hope so. An aluminum option might be a good option too if someone wanted to save weight. There is no functional purpose for the hood to be steel other than it's a cheaper material to manufacture with.
