Ebay is the best place to get them from, I got mine from South West Autoworks and paid a little bit more actually. If I had to do it again I would go Ebay, I Ebay rocks.

+1... before going to the tobayfest in long island i saw jesse's CF hood and the OEM is by far the best looking hood, the invader looks way too bulky IMO

U dont need no hood pins with VIS, hood lifts do not work with CF hoods.

:attention If you get it off ebay make sure the seller has insurance one it!!!! DHL screwed up my hood. I made a cover to fix the corners but it was still a hassle to deal with them. Also, the CF invader hood looks way better than the OEM. Well i have a R34 bodykit with a CF invader hood and projector headlights and I think it looks good so far, just need a little more paint.

Here is another question for everyone!!!
On the hood placement how do i get the catch, bottom part connect to the car, to move up? I've tried all the bolts but it doesn't want to latch the cf hood correctly.....

Well, If you like to hit the triple digits, I would recommend the hood pins...you don't want the hood to come up on you.

I bought mine from a good seller. He packaged it very nicely. The corners and sides were all padded.

So you can use the hood lifts??...i heard that the hood isnt strong enough and could crack or something?

when replacing the stock hood with the CF..does the CF still utilize the "heat shield" as i like to call it, on the inside? everything off the stock, bolts right on to the CF, correct?
