Default Hood ?

Hey guys a couple of days ago my car got nailed with hail and junk so now I need a new hood. My car is a daily driver and I was thinking about putting a carbon fiber hood on it. Is this type of hood durable enough to use on a daily driver or am I going to just mess it up.

I've had it on for over a year. If your car is bone stock then just lower it. It'll look nice.

I have had my VIS hood for over 1.5 years and no problems at all...although if I had to do it again I would have bought a Seibon hood...higher quality IMO...my VIS hood came slightly warped and they wouldn't take it back...I had to use hood points to get everything to line up flush...D

I saw a VIS one on ebay for 450 shipped thats why I wanted to know the quailty I guess. If I see a seibon for around the same price I will pick that one up. How do you take care of a carbon fiber hood is there any special things you have to do to it. Also are they scratch resitant.
