I went with www.showstoppersusa.com great customer service, great products, fast shipping.

that link you have of showstoppersusa you just have to specifiy which hood you want VIS or Seibon. I personally like VIS, I have VIS hood and hatch.

None of them have washer fluid nozzle holes.. does that mean you have to drill them?

fitment on the oem vis isnt perfect. its close to being perfect though. but what i like about it is the latch. its really strong.

the bad part is u prolly have to cut part of the latch part for it to latch on good. or else when your driving it will fly off and break tyour windshiled

Not my experience at all. I ordered a Kaminari hood from them about a month ago, and it still isn't here. Even after repeated phone calls with the freight company, Showstoppers, and Kaminari... no one seems to have a clue where my hood is. When asked, Kaminari hadn't even heard of Showstoppers. Poor customer service on Showstoppers end if you ask me.

Sorry Lee. Its been a rough ride with Kaminari the past couple of weeks due to new management. It usually takes less than a week from the point of order to ship your hood. Your order unfortunately has taken about 3 weeks. We are riding Kaminari to fill our backorders immediately and to straighten up. We have gone to the point where we are trying to stock these hoods but they just can not get them to us fast enough. I will keep you updated on your order. I am currently waiting for an email to confirm that the shipment has left. I will let you know asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.
