The ViS fits pretty well and I was surprised they duplicated the frame underneath. There are a couple of dimples that you can see from the right angles. The weave pattern kinda acts as camouflage so they aren't a big deal. If you paint it, there will be body work required but nothing major, just some putty and block sanding. You'll need the TMIC rubber gasket if you're still running the TMIC.
I researched it for a long time and found that illstreet.com had the best overall price with shipping. Nice guys too. Note that the hoods are drop shipped from ViS itself so if you decide to get one have your vendor call ViS and make sure they are in stock as the inventory system is a little laggy. Mine was supposed to be in stock but ViS didnt actually have any and it took I think 3 months for it to get made and shipped to me.
I have pins but havent installed them yet. I got the AreoCatch ones. They use an FC in their instruction illustrations so that seemed a no-brainer. We've been driving it without at highway speeds and it hasnt popped off but at $600 (plus liability for any damage done by the flying hood to other cars) it makes me nervous so this weekend when it's warmed up we'll put em in.

I wouldn't mind putting those hood pins on either, they look clean!
