That hood on the black civic looks like ass, who made that? See the streaks across it, that's the carbon cloth not getting consolidated properly. The carbon is farther away from the surface in some spots, that's why it looks like that. You won't see that on a hood unless it's mass produced and hand layed. Maybe fine for fiberglass, but crappy for carbon, especially if aesthetics are important. How much $$ are Vis hoods going for now?

Well, my Fiber Images started to fade. I'm going with a VIS hood now. They seem to be the best.
