where to get a VIS carbon fiber hood?

I want a CF hood and have been told that VIS will have the best fitment. Is this true?

Where's the best place to buy a VIS hood?

Thanks!

I wouldn't say VIS is the best fitment. More like affordable. I believe you get what you pay for, so a 300 dollar CF hood is not top notch, nor would be the fitment or looks.
Best place to buy, try to PM TSXondubs, I think he got one from them.

is it a OEM hood wrapped in CF? In which case the fitment should be, ahem, perfect. But not very CF.

Nah, it's supposed to be a fiberglass hood with CF cover. The mold is made off an OEM hood, but most CF hoods are.
TSXondubs has one, and the alignment looks OK, but it doesn't appear to be flush on the top of the hood. Hard to explain, he has pics here someplace.

you can adjust the bumpstops to raise and lower the hood, if its not flush it should be able to be fixed w/ adjustments
