With how many companies name stuff "Vader", and how many ripoffs of other designs are out there, you really need to post some pics or links of the ones you are looking at.

Get the VIS 'Vader Carbon hood. You will never regret it. You're lucky to get that hood for that price. I paid $700 when it was all said and done since I ordered straight from them. There's also an Erubuni (spelling) carbon fiber hood...same thing pretty much just not name brand....I wouldnt know the site for that one. And I wouldnt know about buying that exact hood from ebay...it's just a close up, you never know if there are any flaws in it. Mine was nearly perfect. it just has a little tiny bug molded in there.

...OR you could wait for chris(blacktibs) to finish the F.G RD2 evo hoods. IDK if hes doing them in C.F but the prototype still looked hot made of F.G

^^^^ or no.. lol

VIS hoods are hit and miss... some fit great and some fit like shit.

i have an erebuni inverted vented CF hood, and i love it.

don't cheap out on a CF hood.. if its less than 500$ shipped, theres probably a reason..
