when someone was editing the picture of the hood to go with the background they flipped the image. it's backwards, kinda like the "mad-tyte-JDM-yo" RHD eclipse that was circulating online a few years ago, someone printed the picture backwards.

I wouldn't buy it because its not a real.

Search ebay for the Vis CF hoods, I forget the store where I bought mine from but make sure you look for ViS seal next to the hatch, those are the REAL CF VIS hoods. Its abit more then the one found but its worth it.

Yeah, the pic is backwards.

I see VIS hoods all the time on Craigslist. Why are they better or the best? I know they're at the upper end of the price list.

ebay hoods are usually crap. they have huge gaps, roughly cut ends, a lot of times they are wavy as hell. this is definitely a case of you get what you pay for. pony up a few bucks and buy a good name brand part.

VIS or Seibon are my personal choices when it comes to CF pieces. the fit and finish is great, you don't have to worry about the clear yellowing or spider cracking all over the place (as long as you remember to wax it)
