hey everyone, its been about a month or so since ive posted because of this fucking accident i was in.

anyways, im sick and tired of driving around with my fucked up hood, so im going carbon fiber. I would really like an evo style hood, but oem will work if its cheap enough or whatnot. ill have cash money on the 15th of august.

so far ive seen VIS oem for 500, and vis evo for 570(shipped).

ide like to maybe get it locally(anywhere in central florida basically) to save on shipping.

thanks.
(also, when i get a swap, should it be lsvtec/turbo, or gsr/turbo?, again, thanks)

 

Hey, what kind of car do you have ? Maybe try www.inlinefour.com , www.nopionline.com , www.optauto.com one of those are cheaper than that. Or if you are a ricer you can buy a big sheet of vinyl to cover your hood to look like c-fiber.

 

Go with Vis. They are more money but well worth it. If you get a cheap hood they are normally wavey and not made well.

 

If you're going with the Evo style, stick with ViS, if you just decide OEM, FiberImages has that down. They can be had for $350, check with local suppliers to avoid shipping charges

 

I hate to say it but u might want to check APC as well, they make really good quality hoods. Rolled edges and no waves.

 

About the engine part of your question, i think that the gsr/turbo would be best over the lsvtec/turbo. But thats just me...

when it comes to carbon fiber you get what you pay for. buy VIS from them not ebay.

 

Get any other hood if your looking for a CHEAP hood. The Fiber Images fiber will look perfect compared to any other hood.

 

I was very impressed with my seibon hood..
