Fiber Images. I have seen a couple good looking VIS cf hoods as well, but I believe those are a bit heavier than a FI cf hood. I love the quality and fitment of my FI hood.

I love how my Fiber Images' fitment, but im gonna have to let most of you down. My Fiber Image is turning white under the clearcoat/hardener, on top of the weave. i think it's cause by prolong heat exposure and i've seen atleast 3 people in my area that has done the same thing. One way to fix it is to strip off the clearcoat/hardener and respray it. my friend has done it and got rid of the white oxidation.

VIS is the best for the money. Also who cars about a 2 to 5 pound difference on a hood. If so then you need to get some torque. I stand on my VIS hood all the time and im 220lbs. Very strong.
