i have a seibon jdm spoon replica. and it didn't fit at all.

i needed one quick, since my spoon one got trashed (X2 lol).

in fact, it took me like almost 2 hours to get that sucker slapped on, unlike the 15 mins like spoon hehe

When i look at my vis carbon hatch it looks exactly the same, fit and finish, as Ekizzles.

I think they both get their hatches from a 3rd party and just rivet their logos on them.

The place where I get my carbon fiber stuff from sells both VIS and Seibon. VIS is top quality, but yes it's true - not that lightweight. The guy says that he never has a problem with VIS fit & finish, but he had to send back a few Seibon hoods due to incorrect fit/finish.

I have a VIS hood on my EM1, my bro has a VIS hatch on his EK. The hood and hatch fit great, and the finish is def. show quality. For the price I would go with VIS.

And here is me whoring out a pic of my brother's EK:

Say's it all. Just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's better.
