    Who has better fit & finish on hoods

    Like the tittle says who has better fit and finish on Carbon fiber hoods VIS or Seibon. Those are the two that I'm comparing. If anyone has another opinion please says so I'm looking to spend $400 to $500 on the hood. I like the mugen or buddy club styles or the monster style. Please give your input.
    Thank you

    George

    I need it urgently as I crushed my hood and passanger headlight.

    Ps: If anyone wants to sell passenger side light let me know thanks

    Can't go wrong with VIS.
    If I am correct, Showstoppers has a good price and of course great service!

    I have a passenger side headlight in perfect/new condition. Damaged driver side in accident when my car was brand new, but passenger light escaped unscathed. Have CTR headlight box and packing material to ship it in. There aren't even any bugs on this headlight! :D

    New ones are about $305 but I'd be willing to take considerably less than that. Make an offer. I also sent you a PM. Thanks.

    Vis is not clear coated it is gel coated and YES you need hood pins for every fiberglassed in latch, you might not have a prob but I can name 5 people off the top of my head that has lost ViS hoods on the highway!

    I have only heard good things about VIS. I haven't heard much of anything either way about Seibon.

    i was not freaking out just stating a fact because there is a big difference in gel coat and clear coat. Clear coat is 200% better but more exspensive.
