Not to bring down the party or anything but hopefully you can still get CF from Steve @ bBist. I heard that he wasn't making certain or all CF products any more because it is too expensive or something like that. I had to buy my hood from the Pheonix @ Percision Muffler. Also, some guy on this site is looking for a CF spoiler from bBist and said Steve wasn't making them. Sorry for the bad news but good luck with the search. I will keep my ears and eyes open and let you guys know if i hear anything else.

I guess thats pretty awesome to get the last one and know there wont be any more.

I dont tend to label myself but I do have emo hair I guess.

I listen to mostly grind and hardcore music too. A little emo music here and there, like brand new and alkaline trio. Just bought the new converge album and it rocks!

My favorite band has always been Fear Before The March Of Flames.

I personally like the bird poop on the front of the car. I think it adds a "special" touch! haha. Oh by the way, I heard that Steve at bBist is going to start making carbon fiber products again. I guess he is supposed to be opening a new factory designated specifically for carbon fiber... YAY!!!

b4 ordering my Seibon SC hood, I called bBist to order the vented hood. I was informed that all CF parts were out of stock due to the US shortage of carbon fiber. I got put on a waiting list to be contacted when manufacturing restarts. So, I dont think that Steve is not making CF stuff anymore, just not for now.

He will be starting to manufacture carbon fiber once again this month (hopefully). He said he is opening a new factory in January designated just for CF.

I have a quick question on the CF Vented Hood. I live in Washington where the rain is ample at times. Does the vented hood allow water into the engine compartment? I love the look, just dont know about the water.

I drive with it all the yam time and no problems. just a dirty engine bay if you don't maintain it. The run off of the vent doesnt hit anything important. So no worries, its Sea-Tac safe. As for snow, I dont know.
