I'm gonna buy a carbon fiber hood and i can't decide between Vis and Seibon.
The Seibon is $390 and the VIS is $380. 10 bucks difference isn't really a good decision maker.

Which one is better? I've known VIS for a while but i've been hearing alot about Seibon lately.

I would go with Seibon. What website are you getting this from? If its ebay, then both hoods are probably the same. I only say this because I was supposed to get a VIS hood but the seller screwed me over and gave me a no name hood.

seibon is alot better. seibon carbon fiber is more "detailed" and darker in color. if you plan on getting the VIS hatch i would go with the VIS hood so the color and weaves will match up.

isn't seibon 100% cf...i always thought it was
if it is, then definately grab the seibon, unless you want looks as much as weight(it's only a couple lbs difference)

Of course Varis is nice. You are in the UK and that hood must of cost a lot.
