Does anybody have the VIS or Fiber Images CF hood? I was wondering if you guys like the quality, and does it match up exactly with the car... are there and CF hoods that allow you to use the sprayers? Also, do either of these come W/O hoodpins, meaning, is there a latch? TYIA.

 

I have a knock off OEM CF hood from Bodykits NW. Great quality with rolled edges, precut spray holes, latch and a fit gurantee. I've been really happy with mine and I saved alot of $$$$$.

 

I bought the VIS Techno R carbon fiber hood. It looks sweet as hell. It fits rather well: seemless on the passenger side, but there's about 1/8-1/4 inch gap on the driver's side. I bought hood pins just in case, but the latch holds up mighty fine (90+ mph). You'll need to drill insert holes for the plastic pins to hold the rubber absorbers (the rubber absorbers run along the edge, up front, for shock absorption on your stock hood). The process only took about an hour, and that's because my friend and I were trying to be careful while we were drilling the holes. There are divets in the hood where the holes should be drilled.

Price along with shipping was around $600. I'll see if I can post up a pic this weekend. I'm still debating on whether or not I want to get it painted to match the car. The carbon fiber look just screams for attention, that's what I sure as hell don't want from 5-0. Of course the 18's and big brake kit aren't very inconspicuous either, but that's fine by me.

Geez, on that site, they are selling their NW hoods for 495, and the VIS for 450? Is that a bit expensive for a cf hook? I think a shop quoted me 450 for an FI or VIS installed for 425. Did u buy the NW or am i missing the knock off... thanks for your repsponses guys.

 

I had a VIS CF hood on my DC2....I was very pleased with the quality...no hood pins required....
