    If you are asking which one is better than the other I say Seibon. But its all a matter of opinions cuz someone else can say that VIS is better(which is not). If you want top quality look into Spoon, Buddy Club, Back Yard Special cuz the other companies from China and Taiwan dont come near the quality of the others.

    Reason why is because when companies specialize on carbon fiber they tend to use the same mold over and over and over and that causes the mold to loose its shape. Thats why you see hoods and such things with bad fitment.

    The top two I've heard of is ViS and Seibon. You can't go wrong with either one.

    i think so, anyways i plan on going VIS, all around better run company, if the peice is defective they will pay to ship it back and get you a new one...

    Seibon on the other hand will dick you around for a year or so and then make you pay shipping bothways... there is a whole thread on this by a friend who had to deal with this on JDMuniverse.

    not a good company at all :ermm:

    CF hoods are def worth it!!! They look hot, and shed's enough weight to make a difference at the race track.

    I was thinking about getting one. But I didn't know which was "better." Are you able to paint the CF hood to match the body color?
