Its kinda hit and miss when it comes to either company
Seibon makes some great stuff
VIS made that Breyton rep that fits like shit
I ordered mine through my shop that has all their cars fitted with seibon so if it sucks, the owner will return it for a VIS hood.

what about when it comes to hoods?
Ive seen seibon in person and it looks great
the problem with CF hoods is that no two are identical, so one may fit great and they other may need more adjustment and cost more to do it

Joe and myself have or had the VIS hood and we had no problems with fitment.
Awesome
I read that Seibon and VIS make their hoods together in the same factory now, that Seibon is suppose to be the higher end version of that, dunno if thats true at all but that would be funny if they were made from the same place

Thanks all, I think I've decided that I am going to buy one from an eBay seller and go pick it up fro around $450. My brother and I will be doing the install so we'll save us some money there as well. We are pretty handy with working on cars so shouldn't be too bad. If anyone has tips, I'd appreciate it. I will post pix of before and after and perhaps even a DIY! 
Wish me luck.
