VIS makes nice CF hoods, but I've heard the clear-coat on Seibon hoods last longer. Both are quality. Just whatever you do, make sure you stay away from Ebay ****.

Vis, Seibon, or Carbon Creations are the brands to stick with. My CC hood still looks brand new after a year and fit perfect.

Seibon is great. I had a cf trunk that was made by them. Fit really good and was like 5 years old and wasn't faded terribly.

I have a seibon hood, wash it weekly and wax it probably 3 times a year, still looks like new and still has that slippery feel as it came out the package. When you close your hood gently lay it down and press with your palm over the latch to close it, be smart when dealing with CF
