I hear VIS is pretty good surprisingly. TC supposedly isnt bad either, and quite cheap.

Are any of you guys experiencing your CF hoods discoloring to a greenish brown color? I used to have an off brand CF hood that had a yellow sticker with chinese writing underneath it.

I have seen cf hoods get yellowish because the sun takes out the color.

Clearcoat your hood and wax it.

or bring a car cover everywhere you go.

whats the quality on the JDMHondaParts.com CF hoods? They are pretty cheap at $350, so what's the deal? Are they crap or just a great value?

i would go VIS, the underside has support, and the corners are laid over instead of just being cut

im in the market for a jdm cf hood. make sure you get a real cf hood and not one that is a fiberglass hood with cf around it. geta full cf hood with a skeleton frame. i still haven't found one that i am willing to spend money on. I was excited about factor x spoon weave, but then i heard that a lot of their hoods are **** and that the hype was not all that it was cracked up to be. Did anyone recieve a good Factor X hood?????
