Fiber Images is very good quality. VIS, everyone has it. I would recommend either.

Can't complain about the JDMShit.com hoods either. They seem to be a little bowed up on the drivers side from what I've seen, but for the price you can't really beat it.

The only things I don't like about them is the lack of rolled edges and the windshield squirter holes are MUCH to small.

I had one for my hatch, and you can adjust the hood latch to move up so it latches the hood. It only takes adjusting the two bolts in the front of the latch.
