IMO ViS make quality CF hoods. www.houseofscion.com has a resonable price for it.

Keep in mind, for an item like this: "you get what you pay for"

Well, you dont get the best for cheap. Are you looking for a cool looking hood or a true CF hood? By true CF I mean a hood that is not merely a fiberglass shell with a thin layer of CF stuck to it. These are all things to consider.

Contact Coi or Fluxmr2spyder on here.

Fiber FX hoods hands down

Lightest hoods on the market, stamped with the toyota logo underneath & the best price, my hood only weighs 7lbs. & it came with hood pins. Tell him Blue05xB / Kevin sent you

I have had the hood on now for a year & it still looks brand new, no complaints what so ever.

that FiberFX hood looks much better than mine (also FiberFX).
I had to get mine clearcoated by a bodyshop since the clear AND resin were flaking. In fact the shop guys thought the hood wasnt even clearcoated in the first place. LOL. There are fitment issues: gap on passenger side, heavy force to close (even after adjusting the latch mechanism). Bumps all across the hood (not smooth like the one above). There is a thin layer of CF (you can see light shining through when put against the sun). Definitely a B/C grade hood. Luckly I got a deal on it (used).

I've had cf hoods from VIS, Seibon, & GTP/Importfan on previous cars, and I'd say newer VIS (not their old stuff) is the best.

My FiberFX sans the sticker.

I've seen OEM cf hoods for 299. I like the Kaminari inverted scoop CF for 800. I want that one
