I really want a buddy club hood and as far as i know vis doesn't make one. So i was just wondering how the quality of seibon hoods compare to VIS? Do they fade? how is the fit? WHere to get one from and price.I know there was a group buy here a while ago but it never went through.

seibon, my buddy has a vis hood...it's okay, not something i'd be happy with on my car though, or if they make it fiber images would be the best

I have seen Seibon products on older hatches. It's nice, yet I have two products that are from VIS. I have not seen anything Seibon has made for the EP. So I would say go for the VIS products.

good luck trying to actually find a shop that HAS the buddy club Seibon hood.

When I tried, even the Seibon had no idea when they would get them in. I finally gave up after months of waiting.

hahahahaha--- yeah it is normal uv protected boat gel coat that almost 95% of all carbon companies use. Vis is some of the best false advertiseres because the consumer can never tell the difference. Exspecially if you compare the materials they use, which are hand me down second quality that other companies discharge of. Plus when they use stuff such as elmers glue and spray paint to hide flaws, instead of making a good product they try and hide flaws on crappy products

well, i can tell you one thing. fiberimages is the best. i had one on my EK and no complaints. its just about the strongest hood in existance(download video from theyre site) and it looks great too. only problem is they realilzed they could get more so now they charge like 600+ per hood which is more than ill have to spend.
