      I bought hood from seibon and it fit perfect for me. I think that VIS ans seibon are pretty much the same price. I've heard that sometimes vis fits a little wonky but i guess its whoever layed the carbon. But i love my seibon and i didnt put the wiper nozels in so that the heat could escape out the top.

            yeah i used the aerocatch hood pins cause at around 75 mph the hood starts to shake a little. I had a body shop install my pins cost about $200 but they look really good.

                It's always safer to buy hood pins.

                          its not bad, looks good but my car came with a hood scoop custom made on the oem hood(its still mint) but its just not my thing, to me hood scoop belong on more of rally cars like sti's, lancer, etc. My car is black and im thinking of either going to the junkyard and finding one or just going cf hood. What do you guys think i should do?

                            its all about what you like best. and how much you wanna spend. The only reason i got mine was cause my neighbor hit me and i got some insurance money, but really its all about your personal taste. Look at other people's rides and see if you like it.

                              i got the Seibon CF hood.... fitiments almost perfect on mine, the washer nozzle holes are to small for the nozzles to fit in so you have to drill it out i guess, i haven't, i just left it as is

                              also i don't use hood pins... i don't find them nec. and so far so good, it been a couple of months... and ive tested it out - no broken windsheild.
