They are in Monterry Park, email me directly
and we can try to work it out that way.....Its also like this, if I
have to buy one, the cost gets split up 10 ways and added to our cost of the CF hoods, so it would be great for all of us if we didnt have to buy one. I need to find out if we get the hood back that we loan them and if its still usable. Email me.....
thanks........Dayle

just wanted to bump this becuase more people are "serious" about the CF hood. plus, this group buy will save everyone about 100-200 total costs i think...

i'm a bit iffy with VIS products, so i would hopefully love to see the end product. i can get a hood, but who knows. i actually called this guy up for his hood, and he said that he used to do carbon fiber hoods with the fiberglass underlay. he's going to have a buddy of his call me back today. i can always give it a shot. maybe there's no group buy needed with these guys.

My firend has a VIS cf hood for his supra and it fits good. Better then most replica hoods out there. The VIS hoods are much better then there body kits.

dayle, has things been finalized yet over there at VIS? i'm having a guy call me back about his hood. i don't want to donate my hood anymore, as i'm scared it might get jacked up.

BEFORE YOU GUYS GO ANY FURTHER WITH VIS RACING I URGE YOU TO GO TO THE BETTER BUISNESS BUREAU'S WEB SITE

http://www.bbbsouthland.org/index.html

GO TO GET COMPANY REPORT AND TYPE IN VIS RACING AND YOU WILL SEE HOW BAD OF A COMPANY THEY ARE WITH SATISFYING THEIR CUSTOMERS (THEY HAVE HUNG UP THE PHONE ON CUSTOMERS, LEFT THEM HANGING ON HOLD, ETC THIS LIST GOES ON). I CAN BACK THIS WITH 1ST HAD EXPERIENCE. THEY'RE MOLDS ARE PROBABLY THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN WHEN IT COMES TO THERE BODY KITS. HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE BETTER LUCK WITH THE HOODS.

Default 2 sides

to every story, and you can go anywhere you want.
Im not saying that they are saints by any means, but when it comes to hoods, Ive had nothing but satisfied customers over the last 3 yrs with them. Sure, sometimes they take 6-8 weeks to get stuff and some of their body kits have problems, but thats true with just about EVERY fiberglass kit and supplier on the planet. Same with the customer svc, most shops arent very customer svc oriented either, some can hardley speak any english! but thats nothing new either. Its also not like we have people knocking down our doors wanting to help us either with this project.
So Im going thru who I feel comfortable with, you can go anywhere you want. If we ever get the order to fly in the first place that would be a feat in itself.
