thanks! yup! wheels arent even out yet =)

i love the details of the design on the rims in person.

What are these LED lights in the front? Can I buy this or are the custom-made?

 

[M2-Motoring]

those are prototypes that NSV auto made. I will ask if they are planning to go mass market with these pieces. they are definitely interesting.

Why are there vents in the hood on the driver's side? I was thinking of doing something like this... but over the air intake, not over the battery. Just a looks thing?

 

[Luv2xlr8]

I think that's how the seibon carbon hood is, to release the hot temps from the turbo?

 

[M2-Motoring]

honestly, i have no idea myself. it's seibons design, not mine.

Pulls hot air out. At speed, moving air creates a "vacuum". Ever seen a Miata on the freeway with it's convertible top bubbled up?

Hot air leaving vents, means fresh air is coming into the engine bay from elsewhere. Underneath, through the radiator, through the fender well by the........ air filter.

The science is sound.

:banana:Hard-on for science:banana:

Also, and most important to me (a Seibon CF vented hood owner) the vent is not over the alternator.

Also, water droplets going through a 100,000 rpm air compressor=not guud.

 

[laborsmith]

That too.

So for any one who questions the design, suffice it to say there are real life reasons for the Seibon design, And I thank them that they use their knowledge to make an excellent product.
