I think the VIS hood you are referring to was the first generation one..

the second generation, or "new" VIS hoods have really good fitment, rolled edges, and a strong latch..


the best fit I think you can get is with photoshop




I will probably get a VIS CF hood in the future

The old VIS ones did turn yellow. I have not seen tht happen to there new stuff. Our hoods fit good. Our molds are pretty new.

what do you think fits better a rolled edge or a cut edge or is it the same thing.

rolled edge would look better asthetically.

They should fit the same, but the rolled edge looks better. I wish mine was rolled, but I've had a Fiber Images hood on my hatch for about 2.5 years, and I love it.
