[Consynx]

Ghost, you never got in this?
not sure what it woulda looked like on your blue as it's a little brighter(seems like it at least), but on a silvia C/F looks amazingly HOTT

[redtcel]

i went on to see if i could get a tracking numbr and this is what i found

[Andason]

that looks like HOTTNESS

[redtcel]

thats what i said, i was getting their number to call them to see if i could get a tracking number but they are closed on the weekends, and on the main page it shows this hood at the bottom. i got excited.

[Andason]

haha i created the zyclone hood for vis... how much do i rule.

[redtcel]

you fully rule.

[Akimbo]

****. That is really sweet. Damn myself.

[Andason]

[Consynx]

wish they didn't open it to public
would rather keep it rare-er
but i guess they gotta aim for more business since they made a mold

edit: this is the the Discription:
*(Members of the group buy will get these hoods first because of deposits, until their orders are fulfilled we will not sell any to public or wholesale)

as well as....
New Zyclone hoods also have a rain guard underneath to channel the water away. Hoods now available*

so we do get a rain diverter

[psyko]

it says hood pins are required ! i hate those silver lil bitches, but ya hottness otherwise

[WannabeGT4]

GD vis water marks! How bout something a little more subtle. I'm with ghost dog I'd love to see some pics.

[Coomer]

Wow, that looks great...I can't wait to see it start popping up on cars.

[Ryu3x16]

I dunno...I think its just me but it looks kind of funny in the pic.. can't wait to see it in real life

[redtcel]

well as soon as i get it i will install and take pix. so look forward to seeing my new hotness pretty soon.

[Consynx]

Do you guys plan to leave these hoods on during winter?
or do you have beaters...or what?

I was thinking of how im waiting till spring to put this on, then i realized when i get the C/F hatch i will NOT want to switch the glass every winter back to my ****tay, hood

[redtcel]

i am leaving it on during winter. i think i am going to mod my stock hood and do something cool with it. so i have two hoods that i can choose from. i dont know. but i will def be leaving it on. we get lots of snow and lots of rain. but it will be all good.

[Consynx]

how sure are you of this?

i've heard some CF parts cannot take the abuse

[redtcel]

there are so many people in reno that hav carbon fiber hoods and they have no problems with the cold weather. granted it doesnt get as cold here as other places but it does snow. i'll probably call grant again and see what he recomends but i dont think it wil lbe a problem where im at.

[Ralph96gt]

hahaah i live in los angeles where it doesnt snow or rain as much as where you guys are..i just gotta cover it in the extreme summer heat but thats it

[boosted_K2]

thats hott, congrats andason, your hard work definatly payed off

[Consynx]

look hard and you can find 2 things that aren't same as C-One(and i dont mean the water diverter)

[psyko]

so what do we owe 340?

[st202gt]

can't wait for peeps to put on it........ if it looks good......i thinking about buying it

[R-03]

hey guys, i just got off the phone with grant. he said he's still waiting for someone to test fit. somebody was supposed to set up appointment, but still haden't. if any one around the area is willing to drive down there, we would all appreciate it. the sooner the better. thanks.

[Consynx]

i believe Ralph is the local....

[Ralph96gt]

i thought someone had already tested it...oh crap ill call him asap. i'll take my dig camera to take pics.hahaha i cant wait.

[Ralph96gt]

i called grant like 15 seconds ago and hes not in today but they said he'll be in tomarrow at like 12 so ill call him tomarrow and try to test the hood on tomarrow...

[Consynx]

i want fitment pics!!!
i've been reading mixed reviews...Miatas and Lancers hate ViS, but most Celis like

[boosted_K2]

ive seen a few vis hoods in person... i have mixed reactions as well.

[redtcel]

what are the mixed reactions? is the quality not good?

[Consynx]

either horrible fitment or good basically
some people claim you have to move fenders just to fit hoods and such...stuff like that

[RedSunCelica]

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SUCCESFULL HOOD BUY

[Andason]

[x_itchy_b_x]

whats the groupbuy price? $380?

[chucho]

nah, believe it was 190 for the deposit and 380 was the remainding balance, i'm not completely sure.

[97Celica]

I guess all you guys on the GB madeout...I am a ViS distrib. and I have to sell them for $660 with shipping included.

[redtcel]

i paid a total of $475 with the shipping. the shiping to me was less expensive because i live next door.

[Consynx]

yup, i just talked to grant to get my final price(since im combining shipping)
and he said that guy on ebay THINKS he's getting them for that much...aka
if you are smart and know/are a lawyer, buy on Ebay NOW, because he is losing $

[Ralph96gt]

sorry u guys dont be mad but i was going to go get the hood fitted buti had to come to schol at 4 so i didnt have time to go. and also i dont have the cash to pay the rest. i wont till next friday and i want to show up get the hood put on and pay for it.

[Consynx]

can't you just go to test-fit then grab the hood later? i believe they're waiting to ship everyone's till test-fitments have been done

[psyko]

Grant called me today and told me he got my final payment and that someone was supose to test fit it today, but got tied up and is supose to come tomorrow (thurs). i don't know if this is u ralph or not. but he said then he would ship it on fri and i should have it next fri, alltho i'm cross country from cali, so u guys should have them sooner. Also ralph i think u should go test fit it even if u dont' have the doe because it would benefit us all, i don't think he will really care if u dont pay for it then. and also because if u go do it anyway i will love u for ever!

[Ralph96gt]

alright ill go today just to do the test fit cause i know if i were you guys i would want the same. he gets in at 12 so ill call him in an hour or so. ill try to get some pics of the hoods too for you guys.

sorry guys i called vis and grants not there today so i have to go tomarrow. but hes in at 9 so ill go as early as possible

[Consynx]

lol, he's hard to get ahold of so it's understood

try not to forget a camera, and get some detail shows to show level difference(if any) b/t fender and hood, or bumper and hood

also...gap differences, if the front it touches the fender, but in the back there' a 1/4" gap.

[psyko]

Thanks Ralph!

[Andason]

[Sev408]

andason your such a tool for making this damn group buy cause now i have to buy one becuase it looks so godly.

[Hamster666]

Ralph96gt? just curious, those two rectangular openings, and those 2 little round holes on the sides, do you think they will leak water during raining? are they real opennings?

[Consynx]

they are heat release vents, im sure they are real, and the water would only be droppng straight down, or be hitting the struts

[Andason]

for those who are too lazy to hit up his profile

[Ralph96gt]

yes they are real openings and im gonna take pictures of the middle one without the water diffuser.

[celicarocker]

you really dont know how much i am in love with your car

[Doge]

[Ralph96gt]
