Seibon Carbon Fiber hoods are better than VIS. I have one, the invader style, and it looks great. It has the UV protection and its availablity is very high. It only comes in grade A. It is going to be hard to find a grade AA nowadays, buy who is going to look for carbon fiber under the hood. Anyways i guess the only downfall of the Seibon is that it doesn't have a raised hood scoop like VIS, but it still looks good.

who cares about hood scoop.. you can easily get them. the thing about invader hoods is that it's hard to find one especially now VIS "stopped" producing them.

I was being sarcastic. Hood scoops don't really matter. I was only saying that because it is the only difference between seibon and vis

I had my cousin try to get me an invader hood from VIS cause he is a vendor for them and gets them at wholesale price. he called me up a couple times and said that it was on back order. I waited a month and no go. That is when i decided to try out seibon and i'll try posting pics of it after christmas.

i had to wait like 2-3 months for my vis invader hood this year. then it gets ruined now it had to be ordered again. not sure what is going to happen now, hearing this is very disturbing 'bout vis ceasing production.
