I finally got my hood...I love DHL. I always get my packages early from them.

Here are some Pix...and yes...it's really ViS for $468 shipped.



Here's my baby just waiting for it...I would have installed already but it started to snow today






Rolled edges

 

saaaaweet polak, cant wait to see it on did u get it off a GD or somewhere else?

 

Ebay...$318 + $150 shipping and it was really ViS

 

Congrats....it looks pretty damm good

 

nice man, you took the chance and it paid off for ya. kinda makes me wish i would have gone with ebay, but its all good. just to give you an idea of how well its gonna line up, heres mine. good thing your blue tho, our cars cant be THAT much alike.

 

How much did you pay and from where? I saw that the guy had many (over 1000) good reviews and people have bought ViS hoods from him, so I decided to jump on it.

 

the blue and carbon fiber is going to look sick, especially when this snow is gone

 

nice! those will look perfect with your carbon fiber eyelids!!! perfect timing huh??

 

nice~

only time i wish I had a black car

 

I don't have CF eyelids but I will as soon as I order them
I'm driving to Florida so I need to save some money....I think I'll hold off on the Lids for a while. (2 weeks )

 

yeah, the eyelids are gonna set off both our hoods. i got mine from SCO for just over $500 with tax, i believe. i cant remember the exact amount, cuz i used a credit left over from something else, so i only paid the difference. you definitley made out better tho.

maybe it will be time for a mini-tri state meet soon

 

Welcome to the club...

 

if u wanna see a finshed product of the cf hood check out my cardomain

 

Looks nice buddy...I can't wait to see it on the car

 

Looks to be very good quality. I've heard nothing but good things about VIS, and wish I had one now. I was just looking at that last week on ebay, and debating. Now that you've beaten me to the punch and made it look all good, I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and de-vest in one. Nice job, and thanks for being one of the few that took the ebay chance.

 

wha was the ebay seller name?

 

carbon_innovation They send it DHL and it gets to you quickly

 

Hurry and install the Hood, Cant wait to see what it looks like on majestic blue, Since i have the same color, which im thinking about purchasing soon....

 

Congrats man. Not a big fan of the CF hoods, but on a dark colored car like yours, will probably turn out ok.

 

look good quality on the rolled edges. Yeah hurry up so we can see fitment on the car. If all looks good that will be my next purchase.

 

man honestly.. u are doing almost eveerything that i want to do to my car... suks that i dont save enough to do anything.... haha

 

I'm doing that today as soon as I take a shower and get dressed...maybe I can skip the last step and just go.

 

Hurry up man, we're all eagerly waiting to see what it looks like :-)

 

hahahah...It will be up in a maximum of 30 min.

 

how much weigh saving on CF hood over stock?

 

if you skip the last step i don't want to see the pictures.

 

I wish those hoods were cheaper!!!!

 

oh man skip the 1st step not the last...

he must be enjoying the hood..no pics yet

 

I have pictures...just uploading...It was a pain to do.

 

I'll have more pics when the weather gets better....still snowing somewhat.

I'll also clean the car and make minor adjustments to the hood to make it fit better.

 

it actually looks kinda hot since your front lip isnt painted, but i know your not leaving it like that. lines up nice, and the fitment on the front seems pretty much standard VIS.

how much lighter was it than stock?

 

I didn't weigh it...I think it's 20 LBS for the CF and about 45 for the stock.

 

lines up very good how was the side of the hood with the fender was it ok. Also you said you have to do some adjusting what do you mean.

 

Nice fit from what the pictures show...Looks good too

 

wow the fitment by the grill doesnt look too good

 

I measured it, and the hood is shorter ¼ inch on the sides but down the middle it's the same length.

I also think the CF hood is not as curved as the stock hood.

 

Off topic, but do you guys think the smoked (painted black) HIDs like Polak's and KCMC's would look good on a Sterling Mist? I saw one that looked pretty cool, but it was only one picture and now I don't know who it was. Although I guess doing this with DDEs already epoxied on might be a b*tch.

 

I think it would look good...just might be harder to tape and paint around the rings...and not breaking them.

 

I found the picture I was referring to. Not sure whose car this is, but the cardomain is http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/495108/1.

 

see, i dont personally like that. aside from the orange, he didnt paint the silver on cylinders, those are still that silver color. it has too much going on in there. chrome, silver, orange, and black. IMO, those silver cylinders should also be black, like on mine. to each his own, but i think it would look better with everything painted except the chrome rings
