carbon hood and fenders
Car was hit by a drunk driver and I need some parts.
Vis or seibon hood? Which fits better? Does anyone know the weight of factory fenders? Seibon carbons weigh 4.4 each and I cant find anyone who has them. Ive herd fitment can be less than ideal. Any thoughts?

Probably Vis over Seibon. There are a lot of stories of people being unhappy with Seibon's work.

I have a VIS hood. Picked it up directly from their warehouse. Great people, great hood, great fit. No complaints!

Unless its too much what about a Varis hood? Those are of dare I say superior quality...

I asked a few vendors for pricing on the varis but I dont think I can afford it. An oem hood is about 500 $ plus paint plus install so just guessing maybe ill get 800 $ from his insurance for the hood. Hopefully labor rates and paint are high.

Would you mind taking pictures of the hood and fenders. I'm most interested in fit. Is everything you have dry carbon?

While I haven't seen a VIS or Varis bonnet to compare, I am extremely happy with my Seibon CF bonnet.
  Fit is perfect, and I can't find a single fiber out of place. If you follow the edge along, there is nowhere that it is not in line with height wise, and the gap is consistent all around (obviously that's just dependant on how exact you are with fitting and aligning). |
