I'm interested in the fitment as well. Usually VIS stuff fits like ***** but like NoRyce said recently I've heard some better comments about VIS.

Congrats on the hood. I had spoken to VIS last November at SEMA about this very hood right before it became available. I would be most interested in the fitment. The quality on their other hoods is very good, so I am sure it will be the same with this one. Please keep me, er, us, posted.

Thanks.
