i love my VIS hood.. good price, fitment is great, carbon fiber is laid well, and the latch is strong as fuck. VIS all the way.... my friend has a carbon creations trunk.. and the fitment is shit.. gaps every where and it didnt line up for shit..

I know i'm ment to stick to the options but i love D-max hoods

Ive had an ebay, a vis, and a seibon. Ebay was the lightest, fitment was second best, durability the worst. Faded quick. Seibon fit the best, looked the best, and lasted. Vis had shitty fitment, and I didnt keep it long enough to test how long it'd keep from fading. Had the seibon for two years, non-garage-kept car (aka sat in the sun all day every day) and didnt fade. Wax it, and it wont fade.

Id go with Seibon.

BN is pretty good.

GabeS14 · 08-31-2010, 03:06 PM

I say Dmax, or URAS.
dmax has a raise in the center of the hood near the windshield, which gives a sexy look. and quality is very good,

come on now. Have you seen the test? Run a car over all these hoods, only Seibon survive the test.
The lowest you should go is Seibon, otherwise dry carbon but that costs you $1000.

dmax is hawt. anything else is the norm.

Maiku240sxS14 · 09-25-2010, 05:12 PM

Hmmmmm...I vote D-Max. But as for fitment, seems like the Zenki hoods have a gap on the passenger side headlight. And having the aftermarket headlight covers leave an even more gap.

I like Seibon Carbon because they stand behind their crap... My hood is 3 yrs old, and started fallin apart for what ever reason, I called them, and they said that there is only a 6 month warranty, but send them pics. I did and like 1 week later they gave me a new one for 50%. I say Seibon all they way!
