not sure on the website, but VIS has basically the best fitment/quality when it comes to carbon fiber hoods. many of my friends and I have bought carbon hoods for our cars. they have all fit without any problems. good stuff.

REALLY? WOW.......... thats really strange. basically EVERY shop you go to says VIS is one of the best, if not the best for carbon fiber hoods. i use to have one on my old integra, buddy has one on his accord, another on a civic, eclipse, and focus. thats very weird. none of us had problems, and fitment/quality was great.

Edit: we did have to adjust/play with them a little, but fitment was great.

yeah i'm sure your hood has great fitment. i saw your hood being sold on advance imports' website. they sell great hoods. we ordered one for my buddy's mustang w/ vent. everything was perfect. the only thing we had to do was adjust the stock latch on the frame. he got hood pins too. it turned out great.

seriously, everyone loves VIS, just goto visionimports.com or wutever it is and buy there CF hood, they got OEM and Evo style, i think even andysautosport.com has CF hoods for our lancer, but it looks like they came from the ones on erebruni/spoilers.com
