    I wonder if its really a TRUE ViS carbon fiber hood? I dont really want to buy the 'no brand name' one on Vpower, ide rather buy something from a company with a good reputation, even if it dose cost slitely more. But if ViS is making carbon fiber hoods for our cars now that would be sweet. But i will wait till a reputable vendor is selling them, because i just dont like Ebay all that much.

    The CF hoods are probably actually MORE durable then the stock hood, atleast more dent resistant i bet, carbon fiber is supposed to be pretty damn strong, so im sure you could sit on the hood and not hurt it at all.

    Looks like they went ahead and got me a hood. I don't know what kind they got but I'll call them tomorrow and find out. Right now I'm at work and they'll be closed by the time I get off. They did tell me it's coming from California though when the told me. So I should get my car back Monday, but if I'm luck It'll be back Friday. I'm stuck in a Saturn SL2 until then. I hate the car, but its pretty quick (faster than the rolla, which doesn't say much).
