I have a VIS cf hood and I love it!!! I have seen the Fiber Images hoods and I think the quality is about the same....I was surprised that the hood even had the little holes for the water squirters already drilled in to it. I have the one that looks just like the OEM one. It fits great....get one.

I love my VIS hood it fits great and it also has the reverse inlet. The latch sits very nice no hood pins are needed holds on just like a stock hood would, as for the quality its great. it may not be fibreimages but you also dont have to spend all the money in your pocket

ok kewl, b/c I got a great deal on a OEM VIS carbon fiber one, for $425 shipped. And I wanted to know before buying it how good was the quality I was just hoping that the edges were wrapped in carbon fiber... but it does and you say the quality is great.... so 2 people who have them love them.... I think I am going to get one Monday...

Thanks
