Just for your information their is NO hood that wraps the carbon around the edges. They make it look like they do but it is still a 2pc hood

I just don't don't make hoods 12 hours a day 7 days a week. Believe what you want!

Just because they have carbon on the other sides doesn't mean they roll the carbon. Take pics and prove me wrong. if you look at the edge of the hood you can see where they ALL SEAM!

yeah, they don't fold, if you look at the hood their will be about a 1/8th inch of just black, not carbon or nothing, it is black gel coat, that is where they seam them. not tring to be a dick but i have to argue with a lot of people about this. I do this for a living and I know how all the manufacures work.

can't wait to see this, it would be the first I have ever seen and i have seen hundreds of ViS, Seibon, and just about every other hood out their! All of them are 2pc hoods. They say 1pc design because at the end of manufacturing they are 1pc

not in the case of the DA hoods. my VIS hood is lighter then the Siebon version.
and its fits like a glove.

VIS is good fitment but it definitely fades pretty quick =X

Seibon for the win but a little pricey
