1. No
2. Just wash it lol
3. Yes but I don't remember if you need smaller bolts or it used the stock hood bolts .
I've been using the siebon hood with vents for the last year with no problems :thumbsup:

nice !!! what you have planned , or is it TOP SECRET ? :cool:

Seibon hoods come with the mesh installed, it's silver in stock form.

No worries with water in the motor or washing the car, I'm just careful around there not to dump a bunch of water directly in.

we got a seibon CF hood for our 350Z and it fit like total crap

most likely a knockoff....

That's weird considering they have like 14 sponsored 350s all with CF hoods..

Because they have sponsored 350's with CF hoods....that correlates to them fitting well?:iono:

Even VIS is lackluster. The best CF producer I have ever seen or use is Competition Concepts. His BMW hood(s) are absolutely phenomenal though they are not for show...they are for go and weigh almost nothing. Not cheap either but worth every penny for the fit, finish, and competitive advantage.

Micro Image is a dealer for both. The Seibon hood for the Yaris fits just fine.

nice ! thanks buddy. yeah , i dont wanna dump water in there , rather cover it up when i wash

[why?]

I thought I heard that people have had fitment issues with both CF hatches and hoods? I was lead to believe this was just normal because they are all handmade?
