Default What carbon fiber hoods are the best ?

Who makes some high quality carbon fiber hoods for the tc ? I had a couple friends pick up some cheap ones and they were faded and ugly as hell with cracks and the edges were all messed up.

I haven't seen carbon fiber hoods specifically for the Scion TC but I can give you opinions on hoods I've seen for other cars. DO NOT BUY NO NAME EBAY HOODS. I have seen one in person and it was so thin that when held up to the sunlight, I could see light shining through. Most people I see usually get VIS Racing. The majority of their hoods look good but I have seen some with poor appearance and/or fit. If money is not a issue or you just want to get the best quality, I would go with Seibon or Kaminari. They are kinda pricey but worth every penny. They really look terrific and stand the test of time.

I've seen the kaminari hood on a tc at a car show and it looked great.

order from nopi.com and if the carbon is chipped/fading theyll send you a new one.

personal experience


vis is a good brand though.
