$200 CF hood......

i can get a cf hood for 200.
is there anything i should watch out for? its a VIS brand hood.
how much do they normally cost, does anyone know?
200 is a steal either way. what should i look for on it?

Just be careful of the grade of the hood. For that price I can imagine it might have small defects, unfinished edges, ect .....

VIS Sucks ***** [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG] they screwed me over on my 1st body kit... they sent me a USED front end all they did was scrape when they put it on the car and primered it and shipped it to me... when i talked to them about this they told me that each of the front ends they make look the same. I agreed and asked them to give me my money back and they said NO so i turned them into the BBB [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG] that will teach them to screw with me

Most people consider Grade A to be clear coat and rolled edges. But what you really need to watch out for and ask them about is the "K" count. The K count is how many fibers per square inch there are. A 6000+K count is ideal and anything above that is the best. Anything below is not going to be good quality.
