Hey,

Should I wait and get VIS or take up this deal? I dont know anyone w/ experience w/ cf hoods so i'm pretty much lost. Thanks in advance -Azn oh, the hood has rolled edges and all. |

if it is well made who cares!!
I'd buy an apc cf hood if it was that cheap...however make sure the edges are nicely rolled and there are no rough cuts also like DBZERK said make sure it lines up right so that you dont end up looking ghetto with it, check to see if it comes with the lathces or are you gong to have to get hood pins...can you tell i'm sopping for one too!  good luck!  ics: when you decide and put it on |

Fiber Image hoods used to be one of the best. There was a clip on their website demonstrating someone from their staff jumping up and down on it . . . HARD!!! . . they flipped it over and nothing was wrong with it. They even backed a small car over it and amazingly enough . . . it was in perfact shape.
Good luck on this one. Sam - |
