New CF-Hood for MKIII
- Thread starter T701jz
- Start date
Looks a hell of a lot better than the "On the Beat" hood. I'd rock it, though ViS is known for fitting like crap and seperation IIRC...
Don't like the Onthebeat hood Poodles? Granted, the only pictures I've seen of it were on rhdjapan's website, and a couple I managed to dig up off OTB's own site, but I can't get a good enough picture to really say whether I like it or not.

I mentioned to him that a lot of members from 3 different sites would like to see this item on the car (take pics). He still insists that the hood was pre-tested and he had many sold already and none had any complaint (overseas)......OH WELL! I just have to find out the hard way. I would like to use this hood at the track only and not for daily use.
I GUESS the Top Secret Hood was not sufficient enough...maybe this VIS design is better....

Yea I was guaranteed a perfect fit when I ordered my body kit, and what I got was a one inch gap behind the driver door and a 1 3/4" gap on the passenger side door. Everything else fit perfect it was just cast wrong, the company did not want to do anything about it besides have me send them pics to they could fix the problem on future kits sold. It was not bad for me to redo the part with fiberglass but I cant imagine what a shop would have charged someone to fix it.
The hood being cf if you had to fix or redesign any part of it it will not look good and you will not have as much strength.

The day I believe that a company like VIS who won't even let you test fit a hood to sell a product FOR them is designed better than something Top Secret has made is the day that the flying crocodiles return to hunt us down...
pics of said flying crocs? back on topic tho, I'm not sure if I like the hood. Looks kinda like it came outta need for speed to me....
Would I buy a hood marketed towards kids who've played too much Need For Speed, from a company with a history of crap quality and worse fitment, and who refuses to test fit their product for you?
If it looks like bullshit and smells like bullshit, it's probably bullshit.
Now I have my stupid moments, but I'm not that much of a fool. They can keep their worthless ricer hood, as far as I'm concerned.

Well I decided to pick it up next month and I'll post some pics for you guys. ($525.) It will also be painted...
