Default Seibon vs BodyKits NW hoods

I need a new hood as some punk kids were throwing water balloons from the top floor of my apt complex & cracked my VIS hood so I thought I would upgrade while I was at it.
which hood are really built better Seibon or BodyKits NW I have found both hoods for very close prices
I have seen the quality of Seibon hoods 1st hand but never a BK NW hood up close

I have found oem Seibon hoods shipped for 456 & the BK NW for 455 shipped the JDMSH1T hoods are 475 shipped
I was thinking that the Siebon hoods were better but not having ever seen a BK hood in person I wanted to see what other people thought.
Ben@Importparts has prob the cheapest rolled hoods @ 385 shipped imo its worth an extra 70 or so for a top of the line hood

You can't go wrong with Seibon, most hoods from japan or made in California usually fade after awhile due to using a water based clear coat. Seibon has great fitment but your going to pay a little extra

Mine fit fine, and had a frame. Although it did have a couple flaws in the finish.

No, I'm not f'n kidding.
