I can get both for about the same price, so If you were given the choice, which would you choose? Or would you wait a week and pay extra to get the double layer vis hood?

answer quick....since i might actually get the hood tonight, lol

FI quality is very very good and they also roll the edges of their hoods....VIS is ok but i've heard of people having problems with it hazing or clouding over

go FI

 

[buh_buh]

I like FI. Their hoods are lighter than VIS, and IMO look better too.

...I have VIS right now, if I could do it again, it would be FI.

Don't have any complaint about my VIS hood, I dun give a crap, it's a CF hood, rolled edges and shinny, ish all goo...

ok first up how heavy are your VIS hood?? mine is 12 pounds, i been using it 12 months not a problem. mine is grade A. i love mine, i would suggest VIS, cause one of my buddy's FI had a lil fitment problem, nothing too bad. so it totally up to you, o yea which grade VIS?? A, A+ or AA? if any lower then any of those, get FI

 

[carbon-vtec]

id go with the vis if you get the highest grade..

any pictures on that?

i'd go with the double layer if they look good. otherwise, VIS for me. FI is only a few lbs ligher, but a whole lot more expensive. it's really up to you.

no pictures; allen said he'd get pics asap. As i said in my post, i can get the FI hood for about the same price as the vis. thats why i'm asking which one people would get.

 

[rayweipu]

oops,, FI then...

ben if you wanna see example of VIS hood, you know to look for me, i have a Grade A, Steven pearl type SH has a grade A+ it actually has C/f under part of the hood, and looks hot for show when you open it up and see C/F under there:bigthumb:

FI rolls their edges now?! :twitch: FI was always lighter, but didn't look as good as VIS. VIS was a few lbs heavier, but looked better w/ the better fit, better weave an rolled edges. if FI makes them now to look/fit better, an still be lighter, then FI for sure. either way, I'm happy w/ my VIS CF hood :bigthumb:

 

[DudewithaLude]

I do believe FI rolls their edges, my friend has one on his crx, and it was rolled.

 

[SuperFleaJQ]

I'm happy with my FI hood Fits perfect, and looks great!

 

[5hift]

...but FI doesn't have the two indentations where the emblem goes. I know my VIS does.

How do you know or find out the GRADE of the hood. Which grade has less flaws and higher quality.

How does the grade system work?
is the underside of the VIS CF hood thats made out of CF as well...really that worth it?

 

[ice1cube]

look at the underside of any FI hood, it looks incredible

I'm really happy with my FI hood. The fit is very good with tight even seems all around.

that's what I'm wondering....how can you tell? allen never told me what grade it was when I bought it

 

[H22ATypeS]

All the hoods I sell are A, A+, or AA.....and I personally check them for flaws and imperfections before I send them out or have someone pick them up.
