Genesis Carbon Fiber Hood

Has anyone heard of this brand?
Its from my local shop and is only $350
They told me it has rolled edges, is a good quality. And plus since its a shop i can bring it back if it doesn't fit. Plus they told me to come down and look at it. What should i look for when i look at it upclose. They also told me its by the same manufateur as VIS racing.

nme3 is an unknown quantity at this point
ask for what grade the carbon fiber is, and also check if it has washer nossle holes or a latch and so forth. you know things that would cost you money later down the road.

Have them put it on your car. If it fits goods, buy it.

I would get the PINS just in case something were to ever happen. Look at the weaving, make sure its UV protected. Make sure the underskeleton is study and strong. Look at the edges really close
