So, I will be swapping a 3sgte in to my AT180 very quickly (that's a 5th gen ST). My question was about carbon fiber hoods. I really like the styling of them, and it would be functional on my 5th gen, but I've heard mixed reviews on their hoods. Anybody with a 7th gen have any luck with them? or bad experiences? thanks.

Heard good things about them. But, never seen one in person though.

Well, do companies do trade ins or give refunds for hoods that don't fit right at all? oh, and do they use the stock hood latch, or will I have to use pins?

Good to hear positive things about SEIBON. I'm in the middle of ordering their VS style hood (invader). Pics of their products? www.seibon.com [ seibon.com] They got some sweet parts. Envy the honda boys with their complete Carbon Fiber door sides.
