VIS/AMS Carbon Fiber Hood..

DeliriousClam · 08-29-2016, 09:50 PM

I've been considering getting a CF hood but for some reason, I always thought it wouldn't work with mag black

^ on the contrary this black Z blends well with the CF hood.

That's good to hear.

Do you have photos of the vents and rain channels?

I'm also afraid of getting the vented hood as mine is a daily. Don't want heaps of water on the engine bay.

Never had an issue with rain in engine bay.

I'd be interested to see this as well, I've tried finding pictures of them, but no luck.

I think it would be similar to this.

Pictured is Fly1 AMS hood.

Thanks for those! I've always wondered how that worked. Where does the rain drain?

Knowing this puts a vented hood back on my radar... I've always assumed my engine compartment would get filthy.

Those pics are from Jerrydeluxe. He'd be the best person to ask.

Seibon has a different system. They are removable.

Have you noticed better cooling after you install the hood?

I'd like to know this as well

DamnThatZGuy · 04-27-2018, 12:44 PM

Anyone know if having to re-clear the CF hood would be remedied by a clear bra?

Did you have any fitment issues? I'm noticing a bit of gap in between my right headlight and my hood. I loosened the mounting hardware and tried my best to shift it more towards the headlight while tightening down but it still has more of a gap between the right headlight and hood compared to the gap between the left headlight and hood.

After opening and unpacking the hood, I inspected it and it was flawless thanks to the good packing.

I then started prepping the car by removing my stock hood

With a little help from my little brother I installed the hood

The fitment was spot on! I couldn't ask for a better fit.. VIS really did an outstanding job!!

And here you have it she's all done.
