Where can i get a VIS GForce carbon fiber hood.

 

Your best bet would be to go to your local Import store. I ordered a hood from eBay and it was ViS but after waiting 2 months I cancelled the order. I ordered the same hood from the shop the leader of my car club owns and it's suppose to be here tomorrow and it was only 20 bucks more. 500 eBay /w no pins. 520 from my hook-up with pins and installed.

 

If you buy a VIS hood, you will regret it. The clearcoats on them come off after about a year ( or less ), and their customer service sucks.

 

VIS sucks, my hood looks horrible and its only a little over a year old! if you tell me how to post a pic ill show you what will happene to it!

 

what maker would you recommend

 

i say go with seibon thats all i am buying

 

i agree with him, seibon is the way to go!!

 

I've had 2 ViS hoods and have never experienced the above stated problems. Maybe I'm lucky? Very odd.

 

I think the reason they start chipping and cracking are because the hood is always out in the sun and prolly don't take care of them.

 

How can you bring back the shine on carbon fiber? I waxed my lip all the time. then once during use of cleaner i got some on the lip and now it faded in that spot. Any idea how to fix that oR AM I screwed?

 

I think that someone somewhere is going to have a problem with every company. I've heard both good and bad from Vis. I can't give any first hand experience but I havent heard any complaints about Seibon

 

here are some pics of my hood, I have tried everything i know to fix it. I was going to get it painted but the guy said it would do no good because the cracks would just crack again. if someone knows something i dont about cf hoods please let me know!

 

Part of my seibon lip looks like that because i used cleaner on it by exident. Great.

 

i have had my vis hood for 2 years, still looks fine to me, just take care of it and it will last

 

Mine looked fine.. till i was in an accident.

How do you buy a hood with hood pins already installed? Unless i'm missing something that's not a smart idea. It's not going to be easy to line up the pin, drilling the proper position and such and that's being if the latchs were even properly installed in a applicaple position with a beam underneath.

And you! Did you really just spell it accident as "exident"? You must be a Red Sawkx fan....

 

Yes I am !! haha.

Sowwy 4 da wong spewing.

 

i have nothing to add to this thread but im sorry i have to laugh at the red sox fan remark LOL

 

I live in Cali and went down to VIS about a week ago and picked up my hood. I asked the guy if there was any particular way to care for my hood. He said just clean and polish it. Then he said no matter what I do the hood will fade in about a year or two. He said there was nothing I could do about it. This was a VIS employee. (of course he said it after I paid the $400 bucks!!) Oh well it looks good for now

 

for a little over you year my hood looked great and then all of a sudden it just went to ****! im ordering a new one in about 2 weeks. . .waiting on finacial aid to get here! any idea of good brands besides seibon?

 

i have a ViS that's been on my car for about 18 months, and it looks fine. It's been through 2 Baltimore winters

 

well i went to iraq for a few months and when i came back it had started to look bad!

 

if you live in a cold are, take it off. i know a kid who left his on over winter and it ended up putting 2 huge cracks in it.
