HEy, so i have a vis invader style cf hood, and it looked pretty nice but today someone jumped on it, luckly i found em and now there buying me a new one, so my question to you guys today is what do you reccomend? I think i like the style, just something a lil different than simple oem, but i want something that will stand up to the sun, and not fade/yellow. Any idea would be much appreciated, (car is a 98 ex coupe silver)

 

also whats the best fittment, everyone says theires fit perfectly, but i have a hard time believing that, so whats truly the best?

 

what do you guys think about this one on a silver coupe?

 

keep in mind the scoops in the hood, if they are real then they let water drip right onto you engine. mainly the exhaust manifold and cause cracking.

i would get on OEM stlye carbon hood

 

have fun with those HUGE vents, buddy had the hood for a week, it rain'd the water went directly on to his valve cover and dizzy and the car ran like **** and was misfiring so he sent it back, id go OEM, looks cleaner and will pay more for a vented hood like that when you could spend the same amount and get a high quality OEM with rolled edges IMO

 

yeah id go oem, or at least get an umbrella for those scoop

 

Benen Carbon Fiber parts are THE ****.

 

**** those wacked vents... go OEM

 

damn!!! that **** is gayyyyyyy

 

Oem

 

OEM!!!

 

when i got my car some clown put the same style hood on that you had in the pic, NOTHING BUT PORBLEMS.

spend less and get a real nice OEM looking one, i think they look better and they will keep more water off your exhaust manifold and valve cover.

 

get an OEM fiber images hood thats what i have and you wont have to worry about someone jumping on it

oem style

check out bknw

 

get a VIS OEM one

 

oem invader

 

i would stick with OEM, looks really clean and keeps the engine safe.

 

where do you get that hood? did it get messed up at all? What company has the best oem, ones that will last longest in the sun?

 

this is my order:
1) Fiber Images
2) Seibon
3) VIS
4) Bodykits NW
5) Dunno

 

oem

 

i dotn know if you guys read his post but he says he doesnt want soething plain like an OEM hood, there are quite a few hoods that aren't real flashy and have vents, also my hood has vents in it and i have NEVER had a problem, its weird the evo 8 has vents and it doesnt seem to have issues either...

 

haha glad someone can read, yeah i would like some a bit more agressive, since i dont have a boyd kit or anythign my hood was all that, i dunno, was agressive

 

well obviously we know something you dont since we all agree that the vents are more of a problem as you go. cool water dropping on a hot engine, well most people know what happens. CRACK. headers, head, block are all subject to cracking because of this. so if your car never sees rain, snow, or any moisture hitting the hood then you wont have to worry.

we aare just trying to save you a headache later on but by all means, get the cool looking one with water traps on them.

i would have gotten the evo style one but i like my engine parts better than the hood.

 

i dont think you are familair with them at all, they have fiberglass covers that bolt onto the underside of the hoodso water isnt an issue if you are worried, just an fyi buddy
