Sorry mods, but this is sort of cosmetic due to the carbon fiber thing, but all my ITR buddies want to see what it looks like and how the fit is... Sorry but i just wanted to let the ITR owners know how this hood is. "Forgiveness Please!!

How It Seals


Hope You Like The Pictures!!

O yeah the hood wieghs 15 lbs exactly and is a lot more lighter than the 30lb stock hood thats for yoshi

 

Sorry for the size

 

looks real nice. What kind? Any fitment issues?

 

Its a VIS OEM sytle hood. Fitment is pretty good for an aftermarket part. i give VIS hoods

 

Is there any benefit to the VIS 'attacker' hood or whatever the other kind is called that they have... (Attacker, Enforcer, Annihilator, it has some stupid name. ) It's their hood with the vents in the front. Do these vents help cool the engine, or help aerodynamics, or anything like that, or is it just ricer bait?

 

all i know is that it lets air that gets trapped under the hood when driving come out

 

Really nice hood

 

I like.... u can not always see hwo kool CF looks until its in person... looks great in pics though

 

looks real nice on black ITR

 

bump for clean hood

 

It looks great!
How much did you pay and where did you buy it from? Thanks.

 

nice hood, my carbon fiber one weighs 4 lbs.

 

Since I am not a car guru, so please bare with me... why a carbon fiber hood? How much does a stock hood weight in comparision? Is the wieght difference between OEM and carbon even going to be realized in real life driving?

Just asking question therefore, chilli with the FLAMES... fo sho yo, izsel, chisel my nizel...

Shut up you stinkin n00b!! I'm just teasing.

Really, I can not justify the 15lb weight saving. Carbon Fiber, nowadays, has become more of an aestetic mod rather than a functional mod. Often you see people with carbon fiber hoods and claim that it's a functional mod, but they have a 150lb sub-box/amp in the back.

Of course this is my opinion. I personally would not put a carbon fiber hood on my car, just for the fact that my OEM hood fits nicely and looks good already.

Now back to the topic. That is the best looking CF hood I've ever seen. Notice the rounded edges, unlike other's sharp and squared off one. It screams quality. The fitment is near perfect and the weaves, omg, the weaves are amazing. Nice hood.

nope

 

It must be as thin as paper...

 

very nice if my R was black too i'd definitely do it..but she's yell w

 

Can't wait to pick mines up from Imoto!

If My R was black "I" wouldnt do it.. CW or PY with CFH will own joo

 

I paid 250 for it!!! Brand New, at the wearhouse.heheh

 

is there any "mis-fit"??? like a big gaP???

 

well with all aftermarket parts, fit willnot be OEM perfect, but it is a pretty good fit still, ill take some pics of it and show you the "imperfections.

 

Sorry For It being Blurry, But You Get the Idea

Not Snug Fit


Hood Is Slight Above Fender (Eye Level)


If You Look Closley At The Curve You Can See A Gap(Hole)


As with all aftermarket parts, you will not have a perfect "OEM" fit. So if you dont like it, dont buy it. As far as i know all the people i know who have VIS hoods have little "misfits" like these. Hope these pics willhelp you decide on getting a VIS hood. I still love it!!

 

sorry for last pic

 

Holy hell, that looks pretty damn good Denny!
