it looks like you have to transfer your latch from your stock hatch onto that one.

I thought VIS hoods are supposed to have latches? You may wanna call them and ask...
All the hoods I have seen so far have latches from them...

errr this is a hatch.....

I think it's a bit different.... but I know somebody with a CF hatch and I know for a fact they had to transfer the stock one over....

fit was so so..... I was more unimpressed with the checker board weave.....anybody notice how tight JDM weaves usually are?

Looks kinda odd cuz it's a different kinda carbon vs. the JDM stuff he's got

I wouldn't want to keep posting pics of my car in this thread since it's not an ITR.

I paid $489shipped for mine, but it might be more for the ITR. My friend ordered a deck lid for his Accord that was pretty similarly priced. His fit pretty close to perfect, however mine had SEVERAL flaws.

If you want more pics you can IM me and I'll link you.

From what I have seen, the VIS cf hatches on the integra don't fit perfectly.

wow, thats a good deal. all the hatches ive seen were around 499 + shipping...which i assume is pretty expensive given the size of the box it would have to be sent in.

btw, did you buy yours from a shop or from someone online?

The only CF part I've ever seen that fit as good as a stock part was my old Spoon duckbill.

On this hatch though it looks like a hole might be needed to be able to put the latch in there. PM NiceDC2R, he has a CF hatch on his ITR.

With or without the glass? On a DC2, most of the weight of the hatch is the glass, isn't it?

The carbon fiber hood that went on the BB was significantly lighter than the metal bonnet.

Without glass-

I owned a VIS hood and it was at least 20 some off pounds
I sold it, got a BKNW and it might be 10 pounds.


ViS just keeps spraying clear coat on until it looks good, there weave is shitty
