so i've been looking for a while to find a quality carbon fiber hood but to be honest i don't really know many of the manufacturers. i know vis and seibon but thats about all. if you guys could lest brands and websites that would be great. i'm looking for a hood w/ venting for my zenki s14.
keep in mind i'm looking for a quality hood not some cheap ebay/raceonusa crap.

on a side note does anyone know what hood this is?

looks like a vis invader like what ive got. seibon and vis are probably gonna be your best bet.

would you mind taking a few pics of ur hood for me? to me that doesn't look like a vis hood

this is the vis hood and the vent is to far forward for my liking

Biggest issue with CF hoods.

Keeping them shiny.
Mine needs to be wetsanded and clear coated. Not too sure on how to do that. I have the stuff for wetsand, but afraid to do it w/o some guidance.

But hey, it was like a 100 dollar CF hood (used). Can't complain. :)

This is turning into an "identify this hood" thread. Post the pics in the "identify this" thread and get your answers there.
