best carbon fiber

so according to the last post that i made, asking about vis bumpers and hoods, i got a lot of crap from a lot of members about the ricey nature of such mods, and not a lot of helpful information because of inter-member bickering.
TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WITH CARBON FIBER HOODS AND TRUNKS:
are you aware of a better company than VIS for carbon fiber? i can google carbon fiber hoods for 02 maximas, but i only seem to get testimonials from companies who sell them, and want to promote their own schwag. i went onto carbon creation's site, but only found banners (and other parts), but no hoods. does VIS have any legit competitors for our cars? and WHO? if you have a CF hood, are you happy with it, and how much did you pay? is there a company that is well regarded for making QUALITY carbon fiber hoods and trunks?

i remember about a year ago, there were postings about a company that was making carbon fiber trunks for our cars. they were without the fin on the back.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CARBON FIBER HOOD AND WANT ONLY TO TELL ME HOW RICEY CARBON FIBER IS, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE BOARD, SEND THEM A MESSAGE, RATHER THAN USING THIS POSTING AS A PUBLIC BOXING RING, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU, EITHER.

calm down there

1. They're ricey unless for a race application or weight savings, IMO. Have to say it. Deal with it.

2. Perhaps you should donate to search. That way you can find what you're looking for without havin to deal with people flaming you. You just do a keyword search and can find HUNDREDS of threads on carbon fiber hoods, trunks, engine covers, lips, underwear, keychains, and anything else....Any subject you can possibly think of has already been discussed here many, many times. You've been here almost as long as I have. You should know that.

3. Now......... since I'm a nice guy, I've thrown my opinion out there just to **** you off, and I'm tired of this too-often-reposted subject..... here are links that will help you find your answer:
