i like the VIS hood fitment...they are almost perfect...the hood i like is the VIS with the vent on it but i am not sure what the name of it is...Shadowzz had one
slo mo... do you have to put hood pins on the CF hood? I'm thinking it looks better w/o hood pins and was wondering if you need the hood pins. Thanks! Did you have a local shop order it or did you order direct from VIS? Thanks man!
thanks...i am looking to get an Invader...i love the way it looks...the OEM one is nice to but i just sold mine so i am looking to get the Invader soon

No hoodpins for me. It's not really necessary unless you plan on driving at insane speeds. At 100-110kph (ie. speed limit) there is no movement of the hood.
VIS probably has the best hoods for you, i have the one with the inverted scoop, no hood pins are needed, i drive on the freeway nearly everyday and taken a few trip to cali with it. Its kinda scary with the hood woobling around, but it stays. As for OEM or inverted scoop, depends on the body kit you have, if you have a subtle kit, like WW RS, then i suggest the oem style cause the invert scoop is too agressive for that kit IMO.
Should also look into Aerogear new predator hood, they just came out in carbon fiber form, got vents, but they don't budgle up.

the vis looks good and fits good but in comparison for weight saving it is the heaviest CF hood in the market.. the lightest is spoon but its a little more spendy and hard to come by the fiber images hood is a lighter hood that also fits well
i can get fiber images hoods pretty good price private message me if anyone is interested.. i can also get spoon but my price isnt the best compared to inlinefour and a&j
I heard the fiber images hood doesn't have smoothed/rolled edges (like it's just cut) does anyone know if the VIS carbon fiber hood has smoothed edges? Thanks!
