hey guys i ordered this hood on dec 27th and i got it today..well i put it on and the sides of it are warped and are sticking up..theres enough gap so that i can see me intake filter...should i worry about this or should i send it back...its also like 25degrees where i live and i was told summer time it will flaten by itself..let me know.

 

Do u have a link of the hood some CF hoods are crap. Cheaply made my friend got one and had to do alot of work to it with fiberglass which was stupid. I would prob send it back and get a nice one like VIS or Fiberimages. Show us the hood or a link. But my friends basically done the same thing.

 

bump for help

 

I just got mine from VIS (invader style) and it fits perfectly except for a little warpage on the driver's side (probably b/c its cold right now) I guess without some pics to see how bad it is I'd say either send it back or wait till it gets warmer out and see if it's still as warped. Hood pins might also help. I don't have any on mine though.

 

Wow so you got the invader how u liking that, I have been considering one of those. Does anyone know how much of a quality difference there is between a fiberimages CF hood and a Vis hood


http://fiberimages.com/

watch the videos there badass hoods

 

i have heard only good things about fiberimages, probably where i'll get mine from eventually...supposedly the strongest and most durable out.

 

damn those hoods are tuff!!!!!!!!!!!

 

FI is suppose to be the best but i picked vis over FI because i live 5 minute from VISracing in monterey park, California.

very bad customer service, they dont give a sh-t to anyone.
quality is very band for the buck, about 3bills, little more for the invader, aggressor style,etc

 

what are the fiberimages going for, like an oem style for a 94 accord?

 

what fiber images does not tell you that most of those videos are hoods that do not have the skeleton in them, any hood will do what theirs is doing with out the skeleton just the shell. ViS uses very cheap materials such as Poly resin which is NOT made for carbon fiber stuff for their hoods and fiber images using better matierals. That is why ViS hoods weigh more is because the resin they use and thicker fiberglass in them which does not help but makes them more brittle in a collision

 

yeah...you should definitely take it back..how much did you pay...fiberimages have good quality hoods and so do VIS..i've seen theirs myself and they fit like OEM...

 

379 shipped i paid and imma wait til it warms up and put some weight on it for a couple days its just a show car..

 

I don't know wtf you guys are talking about when you say that VIS is bad quality.

I have had mine for almost a year now, still looks great and fits perfectly.

And it is lighter than the FI hoods i have felt. Probably because the OEM style for 5th gens only has one brace across the middle.

I am 100000% satisfied with my VIS CF hood. And I only paid $300 brand new, from an actual company.

 

How much does the 95 accord fiberimages run someone said it was like 800$ I dont see it. Does anyone know. I think this company sells fiber images not positive hard to get a email
response from to.

when I talked to them about 6 mos ago it was like $530 shipped

 

Alright thanks

 

oem style without shipping

for most honda..

vis =300
FI =450-500

shipping would be a b_+ch for that size, and you'll end up purchasing insurance for the hood.

 

whats your preference VIS or FI, pros or cons--just curious because i havent heard much about the VIS just the fiberimages
