Best Carbon Fiber hood for 04 Spec v

[pocktrockt]

I have a 2004 Spec V and someone backed into me and messed up my hood a little. I want to put a carbon fiber hood back on because I think it would look better and avoid having to match a replacement hood to the rest of the car. As far a CF hoods go what one is the best? I know Vis makes one. How is CF as far as not fading and degrading in quality compared to a metal hood. I know CF is prone to rock chips but thats to be expected. I just don't want something thats going to fall apart. And I believe I would have to use hood pins to secure it where the latch normally is? Thanks for your input.

VIS RACING.

Common practice is to use hood pins because the CF hood's latch won't be very good. VIS is a good bet.

It won't fade or anything much over time. If it's just clear-coated CF there's no reason for it to fade.
