For those of you with Carbon fiber hoods

I am looking into getting one so I was wondering if yall can tell me what brands you are running, how they are holding up quality wise. But more importantly I wasnt to know what brands can I run without needing hood pins that use the factory latch system? Thanks

i have a vis carbon fiber hood. its held it really good and latches good too. i have had it on my car daily driven for a year now and no problems out of it. quality is really good too. only other brand i would ever buy would be seibon or carbon creations. they are both just as good as vis.

I have a Vis hood to and it's great. I put pins in it because I didn't want to take any chances but I drove abit before I put them in and the hood held up fine with the factory latch.

From what i've determined VIS and Seibon are two of the better ones out there

yea they have an adjustable latch so all you have to do is tighten the bolts and the hood will latch properly...if its too high, just tighten the bolts further and the hood will sit further down.

I even agree with you cause i have a VIS hood just make sure u wash and wax it reguraly if not ur going have to get it clear coated again.

Mine is by RaceOnUSA. The fitment is perfect and the latch is very strongly held in place. It doent have adjustment but you can just adjust the latch on your car.
