I got your PM. Sorry I was really busy at the time and I forgot about it afterwards.
You're right. The CF patterns don't match. Veilside is 1x1, and C-West is 2x2. I don't suggest anything Veilside...because...well...I had it. I had both actually. The fitment of the Veilside is very bad. Gaps everywhere. However, it is a good looking hood. Like CarbonLTD said, I'd go with the Seibon VT which is basically the Veilside V3 knockoff. The difference is that the VT hood has the mesh grill underneath the vents on each side, whereas the V3 doesn't. Those vents are also deeper on the Seibon VT. Another difference to note is that the 2 grooves that run from the front of the hood to the windshield...on the Veilside, it sticks UP, and on the Seibon, it indents DOWN like stock. The Veilside looks more aggressive because of it, but overall, I would strongly suggest the Seibon instead, due to better fitment and of course, same weave pattern as the C-West CF.
Good luck. Carbon LTD is a very good source to order Seibon items from.
