Looking to know what the highest quality hood is...Thanks for your input. I have a Carbon Creations now, and I just ordered a Fiber Images...after looking at their website, it looks like an indestructable hood. Plus, it's made of straight CF all the way through, not a fiberglass hood w/ carbon on it.

i think that fiber images has the best carbon fiber

 

fiber images hands down.

YIKES are you serious?
bodykits NW are great hoods, so clean fit great

 

My cousin used Fiber images.. Never had a problem...

 

which one is cheaper, vis or fiber images

 

cheaper made or cheaper price?

 

price of course, i never go for cheap quality

 

well for a vis hood you are looking to spend and 350 and for a fiber images you are looing at about 500 for a hood.

right now i have a vis on the hatch. but that cuz i got it cheap from a friend. its a really good hood. but the fiberimages is better IMO

 

if im correct cheaper price is fiber images, also with cheaper quality.. IMO

 

Carbon creations, while a little on the higher side of price, is the only company that I know of for sure that guarantees you don't need hood pins. I don't like hood pins myself and is why I like that hood.

 

Fiber Images if you have the cash for them...they are durible and are made of good quality and been making CF hoods for awhile now... Good luck...

 

u have to pay to play. just remember you pay what you get for.

 

I had a fiber images hood, lasted 4 years before needing to be replaced because of yellowing. Should have re-cleared it... Plus it's a very strong hood.

 

I really liked my VIS hood until i went and got my swap then it left a gap. But with that gap and my swap i never had a problem with it and it never flied off or anything. No hood pins either but now i have some .


VIS

 

I don't know about the BEST, but I am satisfied with my jdmshit v2 hood with sparco hoodpins, good price too Its the only CF hood i have owned so i cant really compare

 

I voted for fiber images, but i bet seibon carbon hoods are top quality also

I agree!

 

VIS all the way perfect fitment without pins.
I've had it about 2 years now with monthly waxing and it's still in great condition.
And VIS is the only one i've seen where the underside of my hood is a carbon fiber exoskelton. Only complaint is i wish it didnt come with wiper nozzle cutouts.

My BKNW I bought was flimsy and delaminating from day 1. Their customer support sucks!


Try to find a used Benen hood.

I had good luck with both of my VIS hoods.

Another almost unknow company is Hammerhead aviation. They make commercial plane parts but got into the cf hood business. Ther hoods are the best I have seen. http://www.hammerhead-aviation.com/Hoods.htm

 

Hammerhead Aviation seems like a good product, but not sure if they are going to produce anything for 99-00 or any newer models.

 

i'm surprised no one has said Spoon, they probably have the best fitting and quality hoods but have the highest price...

 

i like VIS.... but i really wish i could have gotten that dry carbon hood. damn expensive though.

He just told me he was driving down the freeway at 100 mph doing 5 psi of boost with the hood "popped" and it STILL didn't move. That is a strong hood if you ask me. His still looks like *** though.

 

seibon is good
