if you go to the kaminari site, they break down their cf hoods. looks like high quality stuff. however, if i remember correctly, someone previously said that they don't make one for our car; but i think that's gotta be wrong. our's is one of the most popular. check them out though. fyi, i was planning on going with a fiber images cf hood or vis racing.

I have heard great things about Vis Racing hoods.

Fiber Images? i have heard great things about them (besides evan's experience) I have one and like it very much. I don't have anything to compare it to though. I have also heard great things about VIS.

here is mine

fiberimages wasnt to bad for a 2.5 year old hood, i had one when they first started to get popular.. it could of been better and the coating on top wasnt too good.. and the underside looked sloppy.. they might of cleaned thier act up since then, but thier customer service blows ass.

my imoto.com hood is nice.. cept is has holes for hood squiters.. but the underside is nice.. and the top is veryyy shinnny.. kory im guessing you want the lightest hood possible. if so the imoto is kinda heavy id say 16lbs.. its heavier compared to my last FI hood.

kamanari cf hoods are crap..i have one....within 6 months the clearcoast was chipping, and not to mention the fact that it doesn't fit right...

aerogear???? I saw they are making cf hoods now. I heard VIS and fiberimages are both good. Fiberimages jumped up and down, and did all the durability tests u can download and watch. The hoods seem pretty damn strong.

thanks all!!!
