search under threads created by B18C5-EH2. That is tom the eg mod. He did a write up about VIS carbon firber hoods and their fitment issues with b series swaps a few weeks ago. It is really well written and informative.

Highly doubtful that it will rub.
I know the new styles rub on B18C1 and B18C5 motors, but they are way taller than a ZC engine.
I've heard from an H-T member that his new VIS hood doesn't even rub on his B16A swap, which is shorter than a B18 swap, but taller than a ZC.

Strange, with all the hoods that VIS has been selling the past few years, you'd think they'd put more time into making sure it would clear the most popular swap for Honda's. The quality is great, but clearance is the most important part. Anyone know if they're working on that?

mine rubs on my b16a swap...my polished valve cover needs to be repolished very well now. It rubs on the bottom right hand side of the valve cover where the cam gears are...I guess im just going to have to cut a section of the cf underside out
