Seibon is known to be better quality.. but VIS has improved greatly in quality over the years though. I guess it comes down to how much you wanna pay.

VIS has been around for a while now but as far as quality both are very good.As far as fitment goes its hit or miss.

You do realize how light the stock hood is, right? I think spending the money for a CF hood elsewhere is better than either choice...

I have a Seibon CF hood and I just bought a Seibon trunk. The hood fitment is ok. Nothing great. there is a gap on one side and I have tried to even it out but that didn't happen. Buy Seibon

Go get a Robispec hood if you need a cf hood, lighter than stock i believe, they also got the cf trunk. If money isn't an issue, go all out and grab a Ralliart cf hood or Voltex cf hood.
