from my understanding, they are supposed to be the ****. I want to see one up close before I order mine, but all the pictures look great.

I thought VIS was 'the ****'.
Seibon is made in China, I'm not sure how good the quality control is but I don't have a show car so as long as its decent and won't fade I would be happy.

VIS is the show car one in my opinion... its pretty heavy for a cf hood, but they are strong... the new latches are strong on them also you dont need hood pins (i did 140 and had no problem at all with the hood just like a stock one)


seibon does make some sick cf parts, i wanted a lip of theres for my accord before i totalled it (luckily they were out of stock when i called lol)

I got my blue weave Carbon Kevlar bonnet from http://www.carbonfibrefx.com

Here is a pic of it on my car.

They ain't cheap but quality, finish and fitment is first class.
