varis v2 hood
 

hey guys, found the varis v2 hood on rhd japan, are they legit? its for 2100 which is much cheaper vs vivid or evasive

Yea, rhd is a legit place. A lot of us grab the craftsquare mirrors from them. Shipping times will probably take longer than normal, but the items will come packaged safely and they have decent customer service.

RHD is legit.

Regardless of which place you go with, it's going to be probably a 6+ month wait for production, then surface shipping, then freight to you or your body shop.

I believe there are some shenanigans going on about North American distribution of Varis; certain outlets were trying to get exclusive distribution rights and effectively "block off" everyone else from getting stuff directly from Varis. Not sure who won that fight, but best I can find is:

That means Vivid or Evasive is ordering through BP

You should ask RHD what their shipping arrangements will be. Going with a Japanese company raises the additional hurdle that if you have any issues such as a damaged hood in transit, you're going through a Japanese company, instead of a place you can just call.

add it to your basket, and then check shipping. be sitting down when you do. Check that price vs a shop.

haha oh man.... they always get you somewhere

yes sir, madwi was right, shipping was 1200

it looks like i can get the v1 for around 1500. Ill probably do that

The v1 and v2 should not have different shipping costs. Same dimensions, same options for materials


varis wants you to pay extra for the v2 having a third vent and some trim pieces

I think I paid 1950 shipped for my hood, three years ago

yes youre right. i spoke with evasive this morning and from what it looks like they are ordering straight through varis. v1 is 2000 shipped, v2 is 3000 shipped. im still deciding if its worth it but im leaning towards v1.

i also like the fuji hood and i never saw it til last night.

Get the Fujimura :yum:

multiple members here have the fujimura hood and everyone agrees it has excellent quality and is actually very functional, due to vent design

is it weird that your comment pushed me more towards the fuji...why am i so easily influenced lmao

i think with the shine auto full kit i have on order, i think the fuji will look best. also good to know its functional

Because jar knows his stuff and would never lead anyone astray.

great..... its 2500 shipped wth

expensive taste we have

think of it as a bargain compared to an Overtake dry carbon hood for a GTR or custom fabbed equivalent for a 370Z

or a bargain compared to an ebay hood which may or may not fit
