Seibon is much better in quality and fitment compared to VIS. I sell the Seibon hoods all the time especially to S2000 customers and I've received positive feedback on Seibon's quality and fitment. Not too bad for the money.

I owned a VIS CF hood. Everyone complimented me on its great fitment. I have yet to see anything good from Seibon except their cf trunk. That seems to fit perfect, but the hoods and hardtops do not

hardtops do fit perfect as long as intallation is done properly...
as for the hoods... it's a hit or miss on how it fits...

I got a pretty good chuckle out of this. Most of the seibon stuff I have seen has not been pretty. Side skirts 1 inch short, WRX wing with major weave flaws, big air bubbles in a 03 Si Mugen Hood. I have also seen 2 S2000 hoods that have come apart. Any hood or carbon part that is mass produced is going to have problems

They are all made out of the same molds, there really is no batchs. They are made perfect but once they start getting cut, shaped, and put together is where they get screwed up as far as fitment.

Re: Seibon CF hood fitment? (Nishant)
I have sold hoods by Seibon and Carbon Creations.
Yet to see a hood that doesn't fit well by either company.
Also sold a few Carbon Creations tonneau covers and they fit "ok". had to modify a bit to fit perfectly

J's Racing, PowerHouse Amuse, Top Secret, C-West (although there are some complaints about the weave quality on these, all go no show), Mugen, ASM.
You get what you pay for
