I Got Some Carbon Fiber Head Lights From Raceon And It Was The Worst Buy I Ever Made. They Didnt Fit And I Tried To Send Them Back And They Where Like We Cant Except Them Because They Have Been Worked On.... Well No **** How Did I Know They Didnt Fit ... Anyway That Place Sucks Shitty Customer Service I Would Suggest Gettin A New Stock Hood Or Spend The Cash And Get A Nice Carbon Fiber Hood That Wll Be Good Quality.

Go with VIS . . . their fitament, while not PERFECT, is good and you won't notice a thing. Check out Damian's track car if you don't belive me

Yeah I got one from vis, I figured I'd just go with people that other 7 owners have used. I've seen damiens track car...its a monster. As far as RE goes, WAAYYYYY TOO EXPENSIVE for my needs.

don't know anyone who has a seibon so can't comment on it.

I would guess vis is a safe bet, I havent heard anything bad.

I got the vis KS hood, the knight sports rip off one. From what I can tell so far its made pretty well. It has FRP backing and the top is all carbon fiber over lay. I havent had a chance to fit it just yet but it seems like its been made pretty well in my opinion.

i have a VIS ks style hood as well...........fitment apprears to be pretty good as far as lining up with the fenders...... i do have to cut out the opening for the hood latch tho

*speaking of which, has anyone run a cf hood without using the stock latch? will 2 hood pins suffice? *
