VIS Carbon Fiber hood owners step in
Of all the members with the VIS carbon fiber hood have had it crack or still in perfect condition. I am looking at getting a CF Hood and my sponsor is looking at the VIS hood cause they can get that one easily. I am also looking at the CF hood that Angie (redline max) is selling.

I don't remember. It was a while back when I painted it. I will check though. I know that the first two attempts were way off though.

I know e few guys with VIS hoods, and I havent seen any of them crack.... Ive been considering getting it, but Im gettiny the Grey CF , because I think the black CF hood doesnt really look that good to me on a white car. Stands out too much, IMHO....

do you have a pic of the crack. Is it an top crack or does it go all the way through. Could it be the resin that cracked. could it be because it's the invader style. Has anybody with the OEM cracked there's. Kloogy you talking about the weaving right cause I was looking at there site and there making silver carbon fiber stuff now.

I'm not the only one with the crack on the same spot, PcGuru,deac have the same crack and they both have VIS OEM style........I think the crack formed cuz when put ur hood down and than u push it down by putting ur hand on the middle section of the hood by the latch.
