Message	I have this hood. It fits great, everything lines up and the latch is similar to O.E. versus other after market hoods that use generic latches and bolts to attach the two together. Carbon weave is straight and the finish is top notch. Also, the clear coat has not hazed or clouded up on me like my other carbon fiber hood. :Saw this on ebay this morning: :[ http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2481471236&category=6755 ] :I don't really care about it being carbon fiber as I would paint it, but the design looks like a knock off of the Border hood. Price is about half as well and you don't have to import it. Anyone have any info on these or this company? I see it's a VIS hood and I have seen the other model they make. I'm thinking it can't be all that bad. Any fitment problems with the other VIS hood? Very tempting to me as I have wanted a Border hood for awhile now.
