VIS Hood: anybody know how well they fit?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

twofortyZ · 06-10-2003, 05:10 PM

Keep seeing those "VIS" hoods on ebay and wonder if anybody is using one? I have a 95' and want to put a carbon fiber hood on it, and these are running about 450.00 with shipping. Most of the others I have seen are around 1,000 so.... Have you seen or used one and know how they fit?

Thanks

Thanks PHLIP!

That sealed it for me (I'm gettin' a VIS) and I appreciate your superior searching skills as I could not find that thread..

For the record I did find that the Zenki version is supposed to weigh 18 pounds.

So glad to know that it fits... Now I gotta find some black hood pins to go with it.

me and my friend both have carbon vis hoods and they honeslty fit perfect, the only thing is that they have the squirter holes, but they fit good

one of my buddies has a VIS c/f hood on his prelude and it fits perfectly, very high quality stuff

No prob, wasn't much of a search, I just remembered the thread, because he has been riding my ass because I'm getting his old CF hood and money escapes me at the moment... I don't know the ecact weight, but it doesn't weigh much at all. You should like it, Steeles does.

And from what I understand, you can order it from VIS and ask them NOT to put them in there, then wait 5 months for your hood and STILL get washer nozzles, if that doesn't suck balls.

I'm jsut posting that I really like my hood to increase my post count

Phlips said just about everything that needs to be said about mine. I really like it. I do however wanna see the Cwings hoods froom www.importfan.com for comparison....that four side wrap looks damn sexy. but I like my vent.

I plan to order an S15 hood from them as soon as I find the money. Does anyone know what an invader CF may look like on an S15?

Slightly OT, but still on the topic of VIS. I just found out they offer a dummy Intercooler kit (called "Intercooler effect kit")...this is almost as good as the speaker driven BOV.

with the lines of the S15 the hood should look GREAT

I got one of the VIS hoods off ebay. It fits very well, and it weighs half as much as the stock hood.

Seller jtr-sport is legitimate and easy to work with.
