Vis Racing Carbon Fiber hood and Trunk lid?

I am in the market for a carbon fiber hood and trunk lid, but i don't know which one is the best for the money. I do know that Vis's price is about half that of the competitor, i am assuming this has a lot to do with where its made from vs. and for shipping across seas, but how is the quality like on Vis's carbon fiber products? If anybody have any feedback i would love to hear it.

IMO VIS Racing's Carbon Fiber products are the best in the business. I had a VIS hood on my Integra GSR and it was flawless. Perfect fit, perfect weave, perfect price.

Thanks for the feedback, i am going to go take a look at their facility in a few days now that i know its a reputable company. Now comes the price, have anybody have a carbon fiber trunk for less than $450? thats the price i was quoted for including tax...Anybody out there got a better price? Thanks agian...and keep it coming, i'm sure i'm not the only buyer who are looking into this.

I don't know about others, but I have a VIS CF hood for my EVO. It seems in pretty good quality and fitment.

whoa, it seems the price they gave me for the carbon fiber trunk is $450+tax=487! So i asked him if i got 5 ppl interested to buy would he give it away tax free and lucky enough he said okay and he might even go a little down on the price as well. So now i need 4 other potential buyers who lives in the LA/OC county area for this price. Anybody interested? please let me know, PM me or reply back in here. Thanks.
