1yr on my vis
no fades no cracks
good fit

 

any pics pdiggity, especially close ups?

 

i need to know cause i have a cheap cf hood that is slightly warped, i was gonna sell it and get a vis. But if VIS arent that great ill just rent a heat gun and warp it back...

so the more info and pics i can get on the qulity of vis the better

 

get seibon. i had that hood. fitment and pattern was PERFECT. forget about vis. im getting another seibon next month.

Carbon Creations. It is really nice and I have had no problems yet. Good stuff so far .

Wow, that looks like it fits great.

 

my vis hood faded and is cracked on the front from rocks.
I called vis and they told me to wet sand it. It looks good now ,but you shouldnt have to mess with it. I would never buy from vis again.

 

I have had 2 vis hoods on 2 different cars. No problems ever.

 

I have a vis hood. The fitment is not correct on the left side above the headlight. There is a huge gap, in addition to cracks, and its seriously faded.

Yeah mine is exactly how you explained it. Was it the full CF Hood? After I dropped my ls motor that **** is hitting my valve cover just above my cam gears. IMO **** VIS.

 

I've had three cf hoods. The full cf VIS hood hardly looks pretty- weave was not smooth, edges fit decent, but the hood was warped. It was low over one headlight and high above the other. I honestly don't know why everyone jocks VIS hoods.
I currently have a carbonONE hood - no name company. Edges aren't rolled, not as glossy as VIS, but has a more uniform weave pattern and fits better too. It's also noticeable lighter than the VIS. Much happier.

Here ya go

 

I have a VIS hood since 2002 or so. That hood was great up until i got my swap. It wasnt B series friendly, made a huge gap because of the way the B series hits the skulenton (sp?)

Before my swap it was great.

After my swap it all went downhill. Now i dont really hear anything good about there new designs seem to always go wrong.

 

Seibon

 

(Theres no real reason to make the pic larger, it wastes bandwidth)

I always hear that people need to cut the skeleton to fit a B under it...how much of it needs to be cut out?
