ViS versus Seibon CF OEM hood

I've been thinking about getting a CF hood - especially since my stock hood needs enough dent/paint repair anyways. My question goes out and asks, which hood would you pick up and why?

I'm leaning towards the Seibon hood as I believe it is a better quality than ViS but at the same time, is this true? Is it as well also worth the 115$ US more that I would have to pay to get it?

Thanks in advance for any discussion to try and help me sort out my decision

can't comment on Vis, "never had experiance w/em" I got my seibon a couple weeks ago and the quality is superb...just gotta wait and see if it fades in time though....

The quality of the Seibon will probably be a bit better then ViS but for a car that's going to be used as a daily driver, I'd get the less expensive hood between the two.
Can't go wrong with either companies.

Hmms .. guess I'll still need to for a bit more. Though there is that issue of fading that I've heard about for ViS and that was a swaying factor in the price difference.. but we'll see what happens in time.

Thanks for the input thus far already though.

VIS doesnt actually put the UV coating like they say they do, that's why they fade faster, and you need to apply crap to it to keep it fading, i think seibon hoods are better quality. and seibons cost less
