Don't waste your money on Vis garbage. I'd highly recommend Seibon or better yet Mastergrade OEM hoods. They are of MUCH higher quality.

I'm not a fan of VIS either but its the only one I could find with 08 oem style. All other carbon oem style hoods I found were the 06 style

there are two styles. 03-06 and 07+. The 07+ hoods have the hump, which your '08 also does.

Seibon, Mastergrade, Asuka, Top Secret etc all make '07+ hoods. Seibon, Mastergrade, and Vis are the only ones to make OEM.

I got a VIS oem style hood. I've had no fitment issues at all. I've actually heard more people having problems with the 07-08 Seibon hoods than VIS. As for the "quality" of the hood it seems fine to me... I can't imagine what quality differences there will be because it's not like you're comparing fiber glass with carbon overlay to dry carbon. Just my .02
