Check ebay for the VIS hood. That is what I have, and I am happy?

i really like the carbon fiber hoods but all my friends think it looks stupid. i think it looks nice on a silver car. i was close to getting the VIS one off ebay.

Looks like it could be a bit closer in a spot on the front. Thats a molding thing tho.

Ya the fitment is kinda ghey on the driver side. It's almost like stock fitment on the passenger side, but the driver side has a nice sized gap. Also when i close the hood i have to push down pretty hard to get it to latch all the way down, which scares me cause i dont want to crack my hood in 2. Next thing to install is some hood pins!!! |

probably because he figured no-one in their right mind would want to pay around 50 bucks extra just to ship it to a residential location. lol --------------------  Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...

Mine is like that when you latch it too. I have friends with the same problem. Its just cause of the weight. What I do is set the hood down and just push down where the latch is. I have had my hood for almost 18 months now and had nothing happen (Knocks on wood) to it yet. If you want to make it extra bad a$$ put a few coatc of clear coat on it.... It gets so 3D your eyes will hurt.  -Bryan- -------------------- Member of Team 5sfTe
