    Carbon hood opinions

    Looking for feedback on VIS vs EuroStop carbon hoods. Heard VIS doesn't fit as good as Eurostop..

      VIS hoods are cheaper but some are made with fiber glass and have a carbon fiber over laye i beleave. EuroStop's is very nice but alot more cash for somthing that looks almost the same.

        I thought Eurostop sold VIS hoods...Might have been Eurostyle, one of the two.

                  If your going for looks, VIS or Eurostop. Myself, I feel that there is no reason to remove a stock component to replace with something inferior, that's why I would get a Comp Con unit. The Comp Con one is CF top and bottom, and, does use all stock mounting/brackets. I was unsatisfied with the gaps on the Eurostop unit, and canceled my order into the group buy due to that. Or like backtrail said, MAShaw is a nice peice too.

                    The one nando has is very nice, but I don't reacall who makes it. Might be MAShaw. VIS is no good, IMO.

                        I've seen both in person CleanAzzE30z has VIS and golde30 has EuroStop
                        I didn't pay much attention to the fitment but the fiber pattern on the VIS was more uniformed and even. I don't know if thats a concern for you though
