Default CF Hoods: Experiences/Where to Buy?

I just got a del Sol and it needs a new hood, so I figured might as well go with CF.
I have read a lot about VIS racing ones, and some about fake VIS ones.

I was wondering
what ones people have(VIS or not),
where people have bought them,
how much they paid,
how long they have had it,
and how the hood fits and is doing?

Thanks,
James

JDMShit.com. Cheap, great people to work with (Newman on this board) and they are nice hoods. CF with the fiberglass backing. I love the one I've messed around with. They fit nice and are only like 380 shipped.

So far I have found few:

Local:
$350 some local store - no tax, soposed to be VIS (a little worried by this one, need to go look at them)
$420+tax from Racing Zone Orlando- not VIS

Online:
$448.00 + shipping from http://www.streetrays.com/ - soposed to be VIS
$500 shipped from http://www.carsoption.com - real VIS
$379 shipped from http://www.jdmshit.com - not sure if its VIS, but doubt it
$320+ $150 shipping EBAY - Real VIS http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...09200

I'm pretty damn sure that the JDMShit ones are not VIS hoods. They don't have rolled edges I don't think (can't remember right now).

Isn't the rolled edges one of the big things I should be looking for?

Does anyone have a del sol hood from them or know anyone that does?

Do any hoods come with warrantys?
