The Varis is SOOOO expensive and shipping/wait times are crazy... but yes, it is a thing of beauty....

Amazon.com: 2009-2013 Nissan 370Z Duraflex JP-R Hood - 1 Piece: Automotive
That is a great price for the hood. And yes, if it fails in a few years, I can afford to replace it later with a different hood etc.

Fitment has been reported as good to perfect from all known users. Quality of construction might be lower due to reports of sagging, but that can be remedied too.

Any aftermarket hood needs fitting, so I don't really see the difference.

Also, I may just drill holes, mount the bitch and go, because racecar.
That's the correct attitude for this hood....
