Idn about vis hoods or pricing, but you can check out the group buys and stuff. I think there's supposed to be like 3 different group buys on CF hoods and that should be a little bit cheaper for ya...

I got mine (OEM style) for $499 shipped on groupbuycenter. It's fits perfectly, the clearcoat is very good and it's impregnated with a UV blocker to keep it from fading. I get nothing but compliments on it.

Re: VIS cf hoods? (dwnthehatch)
yes, i got one and i was surprised by the vis hood. the owner of vis told me that they spent lot of money to make this new cf hood. they are strong, u dont really need a hood pin as long as u have the hood liner in. i used my car one track event per month and drive on freeway 80-90mph everyday w/o hood pin, no prblem at all.

Re: VIS cf hoods? (dwnthehatch)
the weave doesn't look very consistent. Appears to be a lot of waves in it. Look at the close up of his head light. I don't think it's just the curve in the hood either. Is that normal on a CF hood? It's been months since I've looked at one (sold mine). Nice finish on it! Are the windshield washer squirter reliefs standard on those hoods?

You should be fine w/an OEM style CF hood... a lot of my friends have had them for awhile now and they've all held up great.... just wax them every so often to keep the shine.
I did have one w/an inverted scoop and unfortunately it started to fog around the scoop... so i just sold it to someone down here for a good price. Just stick w/the OEM style and you should be fine.

i always wanted a fiber images hood but all my friends told me about vis...said they were so good...so i went and picked one up for 450 for my 97 civic ...i love it...it has all rolled smooth edges, carbon fiber underneath for like 10 inches back , very thick, heavy duty latch, and its fits awesome...i would highly recomend these hoods to anyone..also they make em for everything....they got the damn things for a lincoln navigator...good hoods.

idk not idn...
i know the quality of the vis hoods from about 2 years ago used to be not so hot... not sure if those were in house or imported from taiwan... but that was also 2 years ago and everyone now seems to be happy with their new VIS hoods...

Re: VIS cf hoods? (MikeRotch)
