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.

The little hump next to the center vent..some people also refer it to as the hump it self on the middle of the hood(not the little hump next to the vent). If you look from it sideways, st205 have the hump on the hood but the non-st205 doesn't have it. So basically the middle of the st205 hood is rise up. If that helps.
