Don't skimp on the quality for the hood. Cheap ones will fit like garbage and will fade easily.

X2 I've seen some VIS hoods, and other CF parts from them, that the fitment could have been a lot better. But every Seibon hood I've seen, lined up flawlessly.

Get a Innovative Fab one. They are new, but excellent quality. Actual aeronautical carbon(best strength), UV marine gel-coat(never yellows or fades), vacuum infused(lightest weight), and they will have the best surface you can buy, not junk fiberglass that has been overlayed like VIS or Seibon. Innovative Fab sell through S2CarbonWorks though. Check them out. I've also seen some nice Fiber Images stuff too.
