Default Choosing a CF hood for SiR...

I'm in the middle of choosing a CF SiR hood for my CRX, I have the full conversion btw.. so I'm not looking for the SiR style.
I'm thinking about getting the hoods from http://www.jdmhondaparts.com for $350.
If not that, http://www.inlinefour.com has a CarbonWorx hood listed at $450.

I haven't heard anything about the quality of these hoods so If you have please let me know if they're worth it or not.
I've also heard both good and bad things about Fiber Images... mostly fitment issues. How about VIS? How much do they sell for?

I saw a guy jumping on a Fiber Images SiR hood....there was no damage at all to the hood!!!!! They even ran it over with a truck!!! I think the Fiber Images hoods are about 500 bones though.

vis hoods go from 300-350 mostly... they are pretty decent, rolled edges, hoodl latch, fitment was good on my friends hood(s14)... I just don't like those predrilled windshiled washer squirter holes.....

I have a vis hood.. you really have only two options.. sunnystylings or vis.... JHP gets either one of those and was back ordered when I ordered... I support JHP

have you looked around the internet for anyone selling one? i actually found a fiberimages crx sir hood (click the link in my sig for a pic) in san diego for $300. it wasn't new, but it's still in excellent condition. try recycler.com, thepartstrader.com and hondaclassifieds.com...they've been extremely helpful to me.
