I am looking for everyone's honest opinion on Benen. Bascially i am looking to hear from people who have actually purchased and used Benen's carbon fiber hood/rear duckbill/front lip.....I dont' want to hear why they are awesome b/c of this and that and you not actually have first hand experience with any of the products....Are there parts really worth the money, or should i look elsewhere...basically i am looking for the best or damn near the best, so where should i go? straight to spoon? or is the benen stuff decent enough? thanks for any input that anyone can give

I was interested but after hearing about the backorder and reading a certian post in the Best Buys section, I've been turned off, for now.

I think you should go with spoon stuff man. it might cost more but spoon **** is way better.

You are a dumbass. Have you ever seen a Benen piece? You obviously haven't but you seem to talk out of your ***.

B_CRUZ!

So you have compared a Benen hood and a Spoon hood? Side by side? I'll throw you the BS card... Some of my friends had Spoon hoods and quickly switched to Benen. The quality of the Spoon weave wasn't consistant(Spoon could care less... its a light weight race product)

don't listen to these wannabe spoon junkies. the benen carbon is far superior. i have had the spoon peices and they aren't that good. BUT THEY ARE FUNCTIONAL. benen made their's look nice also

how bout people don't dis something because it isn't spoon? could we all try that? i love spoon stuff, but if someone makes it better why not get that instead???

slammed_93_hatch

no b_Cruz don't you know if it comes from japan it must be better cause its more expensive.

fuckn christ people think if its made in the US its shitty people are dumb

hipnotize

hahahahah spoon stuff 1 of my boys has the spoon lip hood and duck bill and they are not worth the money fitment on the duck bill is shitty and they lip is made hella weak. the hood is alright but dose noot look like it whould hold up in a 5 mph fender bender. but benen=

I like VIS. Hoods are a little on the heavy side but the weave is perfect (Rolled edges too). I was gonna buy a Benen Lip and wing but now that VIS is making both of those I'll try them out and give my review in a couple of weeks.

nobody likes fiber images?

n1ek

really? i didn't think arospeed knocked-off anything in the usa. do they make them themselves or do they outsource them? (i still think they're made overseas though)

Apex i ITR

AROSPEED Carbon Fiber hoods suck (I've seen it in person). Their Carbon fiber wings don't fit right.

GET A CLEAR HOOD ahahahah boo benen haters vs benen lovers this is whats we got here

My friend ordered a Fiber Images c/f hood for his h/b. Should be here this week and I'll let you know what I think.

I've read that you can't go wrong with Benen, Fiber Images, or VIS. Like I said, I've read but I'll give you first hand experience on FI next week
