Default Carbon Fiber hoods...quality and price...

Ok guys...
I am going to lay down some cash on a C.F. hood...
Witch is the best quality you have seen or already have...
I have seen a DG motorsports, VIS, and a fiber Images...
What hoods are great quality but do not need hood pins...
I am willing to pay more for the quality...
Thanks

it's "which" not "witch." I understand we're coming close to halloween but come on, learn English.

I like the fiber images hood but I have an Aerogear hood and the quality is great compared to all the hoods I have seen, and it also fits great. I picked it up for $475

i don't know if that is a joke but he's talking bout bennen. Bennen hoods are nice but there are a lot of bennen haters. Vis is nice but heavy, Fiber images is the luck of the draw.

wow, these opinions are all over the place. I would say go to a show and look and compare that way. Seeing it first hand is the way to go. I say fiber images, tho.

I have a VIS hood and there's a few spots on the clear coat and one noticeable one on the front. The front corner has a part that sticks up and isn't completely flush with the corner fender. They're too heavy for carbon fiber. I guess some of the hoods are good quality, but the people there are ******** to deal with. I've hear fiberimages far surpasses VIS in quality

VIS hoods are nice but fiberimages makes some high quality hoods too, just don't skimp on your hood and you'll be good

VIS is the best bang for the buck. its great quality and fits good and has an appealing price. although if i had lots of money, id buy a hammerhead avation hood sold by tornactive.com on this board. those hoods look so choice it makes me wanna cream my pants
