I have a VIS hood and I'm very happy with it. It has the washer nozzles pre-drilled and fits perfectly.

From what I've seen I think those VIS hoods and the NOPI are junk. They have a weak-*** skeleton on them.

VIS hoods are NOT the same as the "NOPI" hoods. NOPI started carrying VIS and they fit perfect. i've seen 4 on cars and they are flawless in terms of fit and weave.

Problem?

They're HEAVY compard to other C/F hoods i've lifted. Look perfect though, and still lighter than O.E. CHEAP too!

yeah, I'm not saying they are the same. I know a shop locally that only sales VIS hoods and yes they have a nice weave, but those skeletons are nothing but really thin fiberglass. Then a friend of mine bought one of those NOPI hoods with the blue weave and it has a super thin skeleton and has already ripped! Yes teh skeleton has a hole ripped in it from the hood bar. and the hood itself is very thin.
