I've seen some nice looking carbon fiber and some nasty, faded, flimsy fiber.

It looks like the options are:
Seibon
ViS
Erebuni
Nopi (someone else relabelled?)

Can anyone testify to the:
1. Weave quality - tightness and squareness
2. Resin quality - clarity or fogginess and bubbles
3. Number of layers
of any of these parts? Thanks.

i'd only get a hood from vis. never heard anyone complain about the quality. and not quite sure, but i think vis is the only company that makes cf hoods with the latch and what-not. all the others require hood pins.
