Alos, I'm still waiting on that link in which you claim a company did a study to determine the optimal brightness level for an instrument cluster. Thanks.

kabir itlooks good. id say 90% but im one of those super picky people, ive seen the vis on a few cars, and it looks 100% spot on.
did u say u werent sure which brand u had, if its a vis it should say it on the inside on a lil plate i thought.
callkiss, how were they with shipping, i need ti to be dv-ed after the 23rd of august at the earliest, i know lots fo companys dont like things sitting in theire inventory for that long
any anyone please post pics of ur vis oem hoods, i would love to see them.
i actually just ordered my cf trunk cant wait to get it. ive never really bought anything crazy cosmetic before, this is quite a change for me. granted my cars still slow but im working on it.

i guess if vis doesnt respond soon ill go with co, ive beena big fan of theres and have bought many things. thanks alot guys
starchild. urs looks like its not even cf in the last pic. just blends right in, but shows up at night, really nice.
one last question, any of u guys running hood struts, or yall just prop-rodding it?, i was thinking just using old/weak ones. im sure mine are gettign there by now anyway.

dont forget the 350 parts in CF on the f-22 raptor production project and the 3500 that were just ordered to replace the f-15 air supperiority fighter. the two main comapnies are gearing up to adapt to the supply by late 2007 they will have 2 new manufacturing plants up and running to meet the need. so dont hold your breath till then.
