#33318, "carbon fiber hoods"


          

Where can I buy a good quality carbon fiber hood that will fit my car well? I know some of the cheaper ones like on Ebay don't always fit well, that's why they're only $200-300. I am looking for a stock lookng one.

I just want to see what I can get in the $350-500 range. List a bunch of sites/stores with hoods , the brand (VIS, etc.), how good their quality/fitment is, and their price.

Thanks.

MODS:

HRC 16g turbo kit, Spearco custom FMIC, Custom IC piping, VT rebuilt engine: Custom 8.8:1 compression CP pistons, Eagle connecting rods, Melling oil pump, Clevite bearings, 370cc injectors, Vortech S-FMU, Apexi N-1 catback exhaust, AFX UDP, Autometer boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, EGT gauge, Corbin's digital A/F gauge, Tokico Blue shocks, Tein springs (1.5" drop), 18" Konig Verdicts rims, VIS stock-style Carbon fiber hood

i've seen a lot of vis racing carbon fiber hoods over here in jersey (oem style) and everyone who has them loves them, and the fitment is pretty good.

How the hell did you order from VIS direct, i have had a bad time in the past getting in touch w/ them, i tried to order a body kit for my 240sx, but they never responded to voicemail or email...

I have a VIS oem style cf hood. The fitment is PERFECT. I love it. Costed me 400 bones. My buddy who owns a shop had it on his 2g. He didnt like it anymore so he sold it to me. I'm assuming since he was an owner he was able to get ahold of VIS. I still dont have any pictures yet, and my scanner is broken now. I need to get a digi camera.
