the strongest id have to say squidskins 3layer u can stand on the hood and it wont break, it is also the most rigid and strong yet still very very light,

next in line are VIS and fiber images and i could get u those

BTW i am a Squidskins dealer...

VIS or fiberimages both are very good just don't buy a cheap one off ebay.

yeah i had my fiber images hood for about a year and a half...i liked it alot and it fit well and didnt crack or anything, i even tested it out by having someone run it over with a bike.....But a tornado ripped through college park maryland last year and pretty much ripped the hood right off my car.....The wind was over 200mph so i guess the hoodpins can only do so much.

I get my cf hood installed tomorrow, i got it from Nopi, but it is the VIS Racing CF hood, i like VIS so i went with it, and a friend of mine in Tampa has the fibre images hood and it looks real nice but he paid $650 shipped to his house and i paid $400 for the VIS(just as good) shipped to NOPI and i pick it up(close to my house). I will finally have some pics of my car for you guys to see, as soon as the install is finished i will put some on the site for you guys to give me feedback.
