ive had 2 vis c/f hoods so far on my car, one was the cheap one was is the expensive one, my first experience w/ the cheaper one(the one that has the black boarder around the edges) sucked complete a.ss. it was very cheaply made and very hard to get it to sit correctly, i had it on the car for about a month and it was fading from the heat my car produced. it just didnt have enough resin under the hood to keep the head from going through, so i returned it and bished about it and i finally got a more expensive hood made by the same company. This one so far is great, fits almost 100% like oem. lock is perfect. i havent noticed any fading what so every, and it has alot more resin under the hood than my old one did.
