New CF hood

Have you guys seen or heard of this one. Its the first time I've ever seen it. It says its a "VS" carbonfiber hood. Could that mean Veilside? Just want anothers opinion. I dont think its that bad, the scoop could be smaller. Doesnt look cheap or bad at all and the fitment looks good.Pics

Actually, it's pretty hard to tell from those pics how the fitment is. I wouldn't count on it being so good until you can see it in person.

i searched for pics, found some and then made my judgement of fitment. There was a guy with fitment pics. The only problem I saw was that the corners near the windows rounded off a little too much

I'm pretty sure that a VIS hood, my friend has the exact same one. In anycase, it fits really well and looks really nice. I dont got any connections with this company, just relaying what i have seen. The only drawback I could find is that the part where the hood prop is at has no reinforcement in the back of it. I guess im just worried that it will get too brittle due to heat and poke thru eventually.

my friend uses a pool stick to prop the hood open and puts it in the middle of the hood.
