Got my VIS hood today. I couldnt wait till tomorrow to show pics with the pins installed (which look killer BTW) so heres some pre pin install shots. More pics tomorrow after we install Pauls hood as well.

BTW, dont hesitate to deal with VIS, top notch service!!! Like I mean TOP NOTCH! Grant bent over backwards to give us a SMOKING DEAL, give us the best available packaging Ive ever seen and make sure the shiping arrangements fit into our busy schedule. Ten thumbs up to them. (x10)

I also got one of these air vents I will be installing on the hood.

It will look something like this when its done, only the vent I have is slightly smaller.

I'll update my new found bling status shortly, pics of Pauls hood and other treats commin too.

You sick bastard!!! That looks sick.

Very nice Rob!!!!

MMM.... I want one now.

WOW All I can say it wow!
As if your car needed that Rob. Now it looks even better then is did before, which is hard to imagine. In my books you've got the nicest 1G out there man. Can you send me a link to where I could look into buying one of those hoods.
Thanks

We dealt with VIS directly, bypassed all those middle men. Call them up.

NICE!!

Did the shipping cost a lot?

Awesome Rob.

It'll be a while before I get one

Sweet hood Rob. Will look awesome.
Want one for my car now and take out that black OEM hood. Can't wait to see your pics.


PS. Thanx for the AF guage.

What were you looking at price and shipping costs?
the hood lookds killer. Sorry and also what are you looking at for a waiting period?

Nice Rob

I think it would look nice on someone's 2G

If you are talking about mine I alredy have one. Rob is just a follower, if I do something he does it, I'm surprised he hasn't sold his 1G for a 2G yet

Ahh I was referring to you but now that you cleared it up, it all makes sense now.
So whats your saying is monkey see monkey do

Umm... the pics are already up.

Hey Rob,

Here is a link for headlight covers to help keep the money flowing out of your pocket and into your car: http://www.frankscustomfiberglass.com

These would look really good with your hood. Only problem is the carbon weave looks a little different than your hood:

[drool mode on] It looks awesome! [drool mode off]

Are hood pins required for all CF hoods?

RICE BOY!!!!

Looks awesome man, keep up the good work

Well they are there for the extra security. I mean CF is not heavy whatso ever, especially when you compare it to factory hood. you get a good wind under there and she decides to go, your in trouble!

Hey Rob You here that you just got your first rice BOMB dropped on you! Haha join the club!

First of all, carbon fiber is not rice in my opinion, its sick, thats that. I just dont see it being ricy. Ok, mabey a little, but its not like its gross rice, carbon fiber works on all cars. Thats about as ricy as I will go. If it didnt look so good, how come I got all these responces?

Secondly, thanx for the responce. We got Pauls hood and pins on today as well, but his camera died after the first pic, so no shots of my pin install, or his install till later.

Sean, I think I like it better without the light covers. With the pins, and the soon to be vent install, I think it looks busy enough. Nice link though!

Here is a shot of my hood and pins:



And one of the new Eclipse spoiler:

Paul theat looks great, now sell it to NOAH!

Lookin pimp Paul

Why the hell would I do that?

Dont even respond Paul, it just encourages him. Josh has absolutely nothing better to do than poke his rice wagon, carbon fiber wishin, engine blowin, post whorin nose in threads like this trying to be funny.

Sweet look'in car I won't ask how much, cause I know it was worth it just by looking at it.

Hood pins.

Very... Very... drooool... Very NICE!

I love it, can someone please tell me how much lighter this is then stock.

And can someone PLEEEASE tell me how much its gonna cost in total to get that beautiful thing at my front door.

I dont know how much lighter than stock it is but to give you an idea, I had no probs lifting it with one hand, moving it around here and there. Its damn light!!

We call VIS directly, and asked them if they could match a price one of their vendors was giving in a group buy somewhere else. We got the two hoods shipped to just outside Niagra falls NY for $800 usd (shipping included)

The boarder people let us go as well, they didnt even question us at all. Lucky I guess. To your door? expect to be raped with duty and brokerage fees. If I were you, I would call them, make up a story saying you wanted to price match one of their vendors, have it shipped to a US address, pour some cola on it to make it sticky, mabey a little dust to dirty it up. Then bring it accross and declare it used. You might get lucky like us and be let go, if not, declare it for like $100 and pay the lousy 15% tax.

So a hood for around 400 USD, that isnt bad, and well, I live in Niagara Falls Ontario so shouldnt be too hard to get something set up.
