Hey there everyone, well I needed some advice from the people on here. I need a new hood for my car and was looking to go to a CF hood. Now I'm debating whether or not to get either VIS or Seibon in terms of hoods.

Now for VIS, I know people that use them and seem to have a good outcome with them, but I've been hearing that Seibon has a better quality fit and finish as opposed to VIS. Now I'm just trying to figure out which one to buy and needed some opinions from those that have experience with them. OEM CF is the style I'm looking for.

Also do you guys think I need to run hood pins on the vehicle??? I would rather not since it looks cleaner without pins, but if safety becomes an issue, I'll put them on. Now I know that the VIS hoods usually come with a latch installed but I don't know about the Seibon, but how are the quality of the latches for those hoods.

Thank you in advance for all your help and look forward to hearing from you all. Thanks again
