Check VIS for a really good finish and fit... as opposed to some other lighter hoods.

Fiber Images is pretty nice. I think they retail for a $450 at most shops, but you can find them cheaper.

Vis is the best because u dont need any hood pins because it has a full skeleton!!

you should check out fiberimage's hoods.. they have a couple of crazy tests on their hoods ie. ran it over with a car, dropped a rim on it, and jumped on it....my freind has one on his eg, it bends like plastic..

Uh, I dont know about that, I had a friend who had his VIS hood fly up when he was going about 110 mph and his hood came up, smashed the roof......$3000 later, he'll never get another carbon fiber hood.

moral of the story, ALWAYS use hood pins
