Re: which brand carbon fiber hood?
Ive heard good things about each company. I own a Seibon carbon CTR style grill on my ek and I take my ek everywhere (daily drive) and theres little to no damage to it.
I know some ppl that have VIS carbon lips, and hoods and they don't complain about there products same with NRG.
Personaly I havn't heard of any problems with all three just depends on if you take care of it. I go with with either one and what ever one you find for cheaper :p

yeah, itll be a daily driver. i got quotes on nrg 460 shipped and seibon 485, i had always thought seibon was top-of-line, so 25 bucks more, meh why not. but nrg is a pretty reliable company too.

someone had told me they had a vis hood, and it faded and clear chipped away after 2 years. so idk how good vis really is, unless that was just a bad scenario.

What is required to maintain a CF hood? How much do the good ones go for? I am considering one, but want good fitment and don't want to have to worry about alignment issues.

Re: which brand carbon fiber hood?
my boy got a siebon hood and trunk for his DA and on delivery he couldnt sign untill he thuroughly checked each product out. +1 for that. and he had it through winter. and it still mint and sexi. he has had it for about 6 months now. and it still looks new. and i dont think he does much besides just wash and wax the car. so nothing uber special.

a good thing to do when you FIRST buy your cf hood, is take it to a paint shop to get it clear coated, polished, and waxed again
