Default Carbon fibre hood brand recommendation for USDM Integra

Hey guys, im going to a buy a cf hood for my USDM Type R front end. What brands do you recommend? and where to buy from? Also, do different brands carbon fibre stitching look different, size of square, or colour?

If theyre not all the same, im looking for the small squares that go from black to gold.
Any info or recommendations welcome..
Thanks
-Adam

if you want something that fits exactly like oem go with spoon, if you want just the cf look but still a decent quality hood go with siebon or VIS. If you go with any other brand just make sure it has rolled edges and is completly one peice oh and make sure it has a clear coat not a gel coat as it will fade with time.

well there is no doubt in my mind spoon products are highest of the highest quality and fit, just very pricey as well right... are the VIS products like really inferior to spoon? cuz i know they are also fraction of the price....
