Default best cf hood

whats the best cf hood out right now for 99-00 civic 2dr, a branch fell on my hood so i figured why not go ahead and get the insurance company to pay for my cf hood seeing that they cut me a check for everything, but like i was saying who makes the best hoods? tightly and evenly woven, smooth even clear coat, etc.?

Fiberimages are very nice hoods as well. Just steer clear of "ebay specials" and you should be ok

I've seen nothing but quality from Fiber Images, and Seibon also. They're really all the same as far as cosmetics, unless you get a cheapy one, and the more expensive ones are usually a bit better constructed, but that doesn't matter on a hood anyway. This isn't a critical part really; it's all about looks. I'd really recommend Fiber Images for price and quality though, they seem to have it all worked out, and are easier to find than Seibon. I'm pretty sure the Seibon hoods are more $$ though..
Here's a pretty picture of the OEM Seibon hood for your car..
