Quick review of OEM CF hood if it helps anyone (arrived branded as VIS):
Shipping and CF quality are great. Re-installing your washer nozzles is a nightmare (as the CF hood is thicker) and the included bottom vent stupidly is a solid piece; meaning it doesn't vent any heat and is likely a safety hazard (remove it and reuse the OEM vent). Another install tip, tighten the screen screws as mine were only finger tight and I lost two before I noticed. Finally fitment is good, a little bigger gap than I'd like towards the front but it's livable.
