VIS/AMS Carbon Fiber Hood..
Need some info all,
I'm wanting to order a VIS/AMS Carbon hood for the Z, I've gotten mixed reviews from what I have read.. Can anyone who owns this hood please shed some light on the hood you have. Such as looks, fitment and so on. Thanks. Found a decent price on one here.. 2009 - 2012 Nissan 370Z AMS Style Carbon Fiber Hood - VIS Racing Thanks.. |
Is there a reason why this CF hood only fits 09-12 models?

They probably listed the product in 2012 and have not updated it since.
Here it is listed as 09-14. VIS Carbon Fiber Hood AMS FOR 09 14 370Z Fairlady Z Z34 | eBay |
:rolleyes:

I was looking up the link (trying to go the extra mile :icon23: ) while you were posting your answer.

I have not owned one no, but I hear it yellows and the clear fades within or at about a year, kind of like Seibon Carbon Fiber. Re-clearing Carbon Fiber isn't hard to fork up since its a yearly expense... its more that it's a bitch to have to keep doing over and over again

Heres a link to mine. The fit is a bit off, but something to consider is that I installed aftermarket fenders at the same time and those were a pain and I'm sure the cause of most of the fitment issues, not so much the hood but I don't know anything about body and the hood is probably a problem too. Need to get to a body shop when I have time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk |

Also did you try to fit the hood with the stock fenders? Are you overall happy with the hood? |
Yes the hood is raised over the fender, but again, the fenders required a bunch of custom fitment whereas the hood is bolt on. So I'm confident the fitment issues are stemming from the fenders. I unfortunately did not test the fitment with the stock fenders. Overall I am happy with the hood, even with the fitment issues my car had already garnered massive attention, so keep that in mind as well. People are drawn to the hood.
