carbon fiber hood fitment?

Can someone suggest what the best fitting US brand CF hood is - I assume the JDM ones are, but due to price, I might rather settle for a USDM one - I know stock hood is lighter by a pound, but this CF hood sort of makes the car look better and complete, per say!

Thanks

Spend the money, buy JDM! My Chargespeed hood fits perfect and the weave is flawless.

In my opinion it's just a matter of quality control. If you get a bad batch, or they overlook QC, you get a hood that doesn't fit. I'd stick with OE.
