Experience Opinions Please: Who makes the best Carbon Fiber hood?
You may have seen my misfortune https://www.i-club.com/forums/interior-exterior-lighting-69/ultimate-roof-mod-214457/
I have decided to go for it and get a CF hood (roofs are not available for the wagon) This is not for show- it is only to lighten the car.
Who makes the best hood given these perameters:
1. Weight
2. Fit
3. Durability (resistant to cracks, chips and UV)
I am considering are Seibon but would be open to any other manufactures.
I am only going for a OEM looking scoop. No other vents or ricey add ons.

My Seibon stood up to 4 feet of snow, 2 rally-x's, 100+ degree summer, mud, sand, travel, etc for a whole year and still looked new. It was much lighter than my stock 07 hood and the fit was spot on. I never tried a different brand, but I could say that i'm very satisfied.

My seibon's fit was perfect, still looks great after almost two years... However, you have to drill into the fiberglass backing if you want to use your splitter/mist spray. and drilling into fiberglass is unnerving at best.
And if you try to talk to the people at Seibon they are mega-*******s, that being said I like my hood.
