VIS or Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood

husan786 · 03-24-2009, 07:25 PM

I was looking for a Hood but wanted to know, which company makes the better hood. Can you guy show me the right direction?

Thanks!

never heard of vis...

heard seibon fits like crap though

where is the "neither" option?

I would vote for Vorsteiner personally

I've got a Seibon hood and trunk lid and they both took modification to fit right.

Agreeing with everyone else on this one. In terms of carbon fiber body parts, Vorsteiner has quality that is matched by none out there right now.

Forgot to mention in addition to fitment issues, I had 6 layers of clear coat applied to the hood and trunk lid because of the famous yellowing issues with Seibon.
