Default carbon fiber hood?????

I want to install a carbon fiber hood on my db. Im not sure if I want stock looking or with vents, Does anybody have pic's of there DB Z with them.
Who makes the best one and who has the best prices?
Should I use hood pins and which ones to use?
Do all the hoods pretty much fit well once all aligned?

VIS Racing makes good ones. They used to make crap products but I've seen their latest stuff in person and was impressed with the quality.

Use of hood pins is up to you. Some people hate the look, some people like it. Some people get it to ensure their hood doesn't pop up and smack their windshield during driving, since the latch is glued on unlike metal hoods where they can be welded or screwed on. Any generic hood pin will work.

All aftermarket hood typically don't fit as well as stock. Some modifications may have to be done to the hood mounting points to get a perfect alignment.
