Seibon or VIS or (FD3S Hoods)?

Have the chance to possibly go CF on the hood and hatch. I am wondering people's feedback on fit, and function. The current body panels need completely stripped and reworked, so instead of all that, i figure just the labor to install would be equivelent.

I like how aggressive VIS's scoot style is over Seibon, but how's the fitment? Or are the pictures misleading? Are the seibon vents as aggressive? i've heard seibon is better fitment...I am going for cooling, not rice points

but i'm also torn with the KS style... (or in VIS terms, their invader hood)

the body will mostly be remaining stock, for the most part.

Ronin's hood looks amazing, and the fit sounds perfect. But it's obviously more, and i have no idea how well it cools.

Thanks for your imput guys!

Both seibon and Vis have great fitment. Actually I prefer seibon due to the less agressive vents especially on a stockish looking car. But to each their own

Heres my seibon due to the lower vents there isn't a big bubble on the hood. And it cools just fine as when I got it intalled on a 100deg day it ran 5 deg cooler. And that's agood thing

I have the Rotary Extreme N1 CF hood, its the same as the Seibon TS style CF hood, fitment is great and gave the car an aggressive look.

I just purchased the VIS-brand "Scoot" hood.

I'm a fan of the more aggressive vents.

I'll post pics of it once installed.
