buy PraiseTheLowereds if he is still going to sell it. He has nearly perfect if not perfect fitment. He is very meticulous about his mods and typically only buys top tier products! I think he has only has his carbon fiber pieces for a few months.

The reason is probably the fact that most of Siebon I have seen look like stock replacement hoods, where as the VIS look racier. I prefer the VIS if you are going to go with CF, might as well get a little more style out of it.

VIS also has an OEM style hood in cf available too

another style is the penta hood, which looks like the e92 M3 hood.

+1, why get CF and stay with oem look? If you are going CF you abviously are looking for something that stands out, so you might as well get something with some vents and a little more styling.
