Regretting my Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood Impulse purchase.

Seibon CF hood on Black Friday $995


Rex Super sport CF Hood $650.
View attachment 266530

So the Question is, Is Seibon worth the Extra $345? I'm going with No, even if the fitment is a bit off. Only thing is that I prefer the clean hood vs having the Bonnet Hood. Do I hate it enough to spend $345 extra? 🤔 💸💸🥲

I need to contact Seibon! Stop the steal!
How much is the shipping though?

You can't get an oem hood, and have it painted for 650. I think it isn't a bad purchase. You might be able to sell it in a couple months for more than you paid for it.

Clay barred the car this morning in preparation for some ceramic wax this afternoon. My harbor freight buffer died after 15 years so Black Friday deal time it is.

I think it’s normal for STFT to bounce around during regular driving. The key is where it is at WOT.
What are they at idle when stopped and WOT?
STFT during WOT was between -5 and -11. At 5k RPMs, -5. At 7k RPMs, -11. LTFT was -1. I also attached the log (probably not the best log). Not sure if this matters but just under 3/4 tank of gas.
