Bottom line of CF hoods....VIS...all the way...never heard of fiber images but they sound to be a good company too just by looking at thier website....as for a latch breaking off and your hood folding over and smashing your windsheild on the highway. Those are the hoods that are thin as hell and flex BAD. I figured my vis was gonna be light as a feather, but it still has a lil weight to it, which is good. For God's sake don't buy cf hoods off ebay, there are a lot of fraudulent people selling cf hoods....I know of 3 people who got cf hoods off of ebay and on has a broken windshield, another has his hood in about 7 million different pieces.....you get what you pay for...My votes go to VIS and Fiber Images.
