I have a bodykits NW and it's not the best hood. You can see the outline of the underbody throught the top of the CF. My friend has a VIS for his Celica and it is very high quality.

A carbon fiber hood is not designed for perfect fitament or to look pretty its made for function, a lot of people seem to overlook this key fact when purchasing a carbon fiber hood.

Just wanted to throw the racing **** post somewhere in this thread before the type r track elitists get a chance to =P

are we posting what's better, or what we have? Fiber Images blows VIS out of the water .. but not as many people can afford the FI, compared to the BKNW, VIS, etc.


Fiber Images

No no, it's not like that. It almost looks like a crease on mine. It's a single line where every formation on the bottom is. It's not faded like that.
