I Have seen these on ebay a couple of times:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2418016901 and i was wondering if any of the purchasers were on the board or if anyone can vouch for an VIS CF hood for the fd's??? If anyone has any pics that would be great too! |
Never seen one from Ebay on a FD.. But my friend just got a VIS hood for his Integra and it's one of the nicest ones I've ever seen!
|
I heard they're real nice too, you could ask Benny (a forum member here). He got a CF hood for his FD and the fitment and quality are top notch. It's not (I think) Vis but it looks amazing. Let me try and find that thread he posted it in!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I bought one of the vis ks hoods off of ebay, they were somewhat on backorder and it took a month to get it. they guy said he has them in stock now. The hood was packed awesome and I was very happy with that part. the initial impression of the hood when I took it out of the box was good. It looked better than I thought it would, there are a few minor spots where the weve is not perfect, but for the money what do you expect. the finish is very nice and glossy and looks like a thick coat of resin and clear coat. It has a deep look to it. The hood came with mesh installed but it looks pretty nasty painted silver, I am going to remove it and paint it black. i will take some more detailed pics this weekend when i get the hood on the car, I just test fitted it a bit but did not bolt it down. really for the money its a nice hood so far, just have to see what it fits like when its done. I had an early run of the mazdaspeed copy hoods from taiwan or something and this hood seems a lot better quality. all the edges are nice and smooth.
Initial pics. http://206.54.188.4/hood/newhood/ks1.jpg http://206.54.188.4/hood/newhood/ks2.jpg http://206.54.188.4/hood/newhood/ks3.jpg http://206.54.188.4/hood/newhood/ks4.jpg http://206.54.188.4/hood/newhood/ks5.jpg not sure I like the look of the hood yet, its hard to tell. I took the pics in direct sunlight so it looks kinda funny. |
For under $400 before shipping it looks like it fits as good or better better than some of the $900 big-name imports. You are right, the screens need to be painted black or dark grey. Damn, I like it, plus you have a nice box and packing pieces to store your OE hood in!

Thanks srce94 fd, and mako: I think i am probably going to go ahead order the hood in the next couple of weeks since it seems to have positive feedback...mako, if you could please post additional pics after this weekend that would be great.

What does that hood weigh?
You guys got to remember these are fiberglass hoods with one layer of CF at the top. Still $400 is good for a chopper gun glass hood. |
