Just purchased this car, 97 tsi, and the owner said it had a VIS CF hood, but I dont see any badges and the quality looks a bit less than VIS quality. I also didnt see it on their website. The holes dont look custom drilled because the resin actually follows the cut as if it were applied afterwards, and theres also a shroud under the hood that looks like it came with the hood. Any ideas? Thanks!

Those holes look like they were drilled for a hood scoop and locking pins.

I also agree that an easy way to fix faded carbon fiber hoods is to sand them down and respray a clear coat. Sometimes people do the respray themselves and it doesn't look right.
