Are there other people making Carbon fiber hoods for our cars.

MMMmmm something doesn't look right about this...

Who made it? Quality control of any kind?

they said it was a plastic wrap that make's it look like that. Makes sense to me. They said it was just some wrinkles in the plastic wrap. I doubt it would look that bad and they still try and sell it? lol.

^^ You're kidding, right? It is eBay after all! :lol:

And they are charging $165 for S/H - no local pickups... somethings a little fishy to me.

I tried wrapping CF vinyl on my hood., It looked ok for like couple of dayz but after that rock chips and stuff made it look weird. and plus why not get real carbon fiber hood... instead of fake one

it looks clean but actual pictures would make it more legit. Doesn't even say what brand it is.

if i remember correctly, there were a few people that tried the VIS carbon fiber hood for the gen2 and it had fitment issues. you can try it out yourself but i think its just a waist of money.

are you thinking of getting a carbon fiber hood?

VIS never made a hood for gen 2 they only made it for the gen 1-1.5

Michael was trying to get that group buy together for VIS to produce them but I think only 2-3 people subcribed to his GB, so it didn't work out.
