VIS is good, that was my first carbon fiber hood on my EM1, but i also like Invidia better but VIS is not bad at all, just check it really good for any cracks when you get it, and if the box is damaged dont sign for it.

My Vis hood came with wrinkles in one spot. When I did some research I found that this was normal and sometimes they come out this way. I still hate the wrinkle so make sure whoever you order from that they do a check on it for defects.

could be short if its a 99-00 and its got a 96-98 hood. It will leave open spots behind the lights and the tips that curl around the grill will hit it instead of wrapping around.
