Carbon Fiber Hood

I am looking to buy a cf hood and possibly color match it. So far I like the Seibon DV and TS, and the vis ams hood. I was wondering if anyone who has one of these can comment on the fitment?
Thanks!

Seibon fitment is ok for most, poor for others. That is about it. Also it weighs more - so it really it is all about the vents and if you like the look

i would suggest getting a factory hood from the wreckers and get the vents put into it by a body shop, it would save you weight rather then adding it

Finding shops with good louver presses and that know how to operate em... That's tough though.

My Seibon OEM style hood fitment is flawless. Another local dude has a vented one that is also flawless.

My Seibon hood fits great and weighs a little less than the OEM hood.
