Thats good to know that VIS fits good. I have heard bad things about the clear coat going bad in about a year.
Where to get an OEM CF hood?

i heard that aswell..
any body shop can scuff it down and spray it though for probably dirt cheap.
i remember reading something about the uv protective coating or something, im not sure.

i would buy everything if it was still available.welp i found this...the line down the middle seems a little odd but for the price...do u guys think i should take the chance? it is closer to me so it shouldnt take ages to get here.

I just need a replacement hood and would rather get something lightweight to replace the stocker (which has a good amount of dents in it.)

I agree completely! :aigo: Emp if you want to, find out how much it would be to ship 2 hoods at once. I've been thinking about a Stout.:naughty:If it's a few bucks more for 2 hoods and we split the cost, it might be worth it.:dunno:

Have you dyno'd your car with that hood? My buddy has an Evo IX, and after his dyno tuning, the hood got warped a little bit and wouldn't close right. The day after, it was fine though. I'm still a little bit skeptical about VIS. I've hear that they are not that great
that Kevlar hood looks nice, minus the seam going up the middle..
you could disguise that with a hood stripe, or better yet, just paint the damn thing...

I had a vis carbon fiber hood on my 1g dsm. It didnt fit right, but the car was in an accident and a stock one doesnt fit right either. So I can not really say anything about how well it fit. But the clear coat right above the turbo was faded, there is absolutly no bracing in the hood. Also after a long drive or a sprinted drive the hood was soft.

my hood has a full fiberglass brace underneath it. maybe different between supra and eclipse. also maybe the mould for the supra hoods is less abused due to less of a demand. that would make the hoods still produced with pretty accurate measurments. maybe not haha
i have ben thinking about getting a VIS Carbon Hood, but i haven't heard enough good things about it. It's still up in the air though.
I just bought a hood from Race On USA. it looks realy good. It has a full fiberglass brace undernieth. And the price was actually very good. I havent had a chance to fit it up yet due to the fact that im putting the motor in but i will post pics soon as posible.
A lot of these companies will make parts for our cars... all you have to do is bring your car or the part in and let them use it.. but no one does! keycomposite make some nice stuff.
