Default Which CF hood would u recommend.

VIS CF or RS (racing solutions) CF Hood.

I've searched and i've found many great looking TC's but not one comparing a few companys or recommending one over another.

Thanks.

How much you want to have me take that kaminari hood off your hands so you can get the one you want.

i would recommend one that doesn't look like you should be eating it with teriyaki chicken.

ie. an oem style hood.

thanx alot for youri didnt' think i had to be specific, I wanted to know a gereal prospective, specificly i'm looking for a OEM CF hood in the 500 shipped region.the two i've listed i found for this price as well as the usual ebay hood but i didnt' feel that had the credibility of these two hoods. If there are any other companys you'd like to recommend in this price range i would appreciate it.

Thanx.

ps. thanks again for the comment so far.

Oh ok, didn't want to stir anything up. I just want other ppl to let it be known that pins should be an additonal safety measure when getting a c/f or fiberglass hood. Having THE manager at a VIS branch in Montery Park tell you that its fine to run w/o pins, then having your hood pop, damaging the windshield, hood latches, and both fenders (from the latches extending so high) a week later on christmas day, having to drive to LA hoodless to pick up an oem hood, and driving back the same day is not fun.
