IMPORTANT: VIS C-ONE STYLE HOOD GROUP BUY - FINAL, carbon fiber - need 40 people Options

EDIT: I was under the impression that a C/F hood was 50% lighter than stock
so the stock hood is say 45lbs...
carbon fiber would be maybe(23lbs) and fiberglass should only be 25lbs? with the overlay maybe 26?

The hood will come with wire mesh in them. You guys probably know more about
the hood then we do, but from my understanding it is from 94-99. Thanks for
the tip, when we begin making the hood, we will change the latch, just
remind me again. Thanks

[Akimbo]

Turned off that it's not true carbon fiber?

The thought just reminds me of that little speaker that makes it sound like you have a turbo...
it appears to be something it's not :\

[nik]

same here i want the real thing

[celimanST]

You guys are worrying about a 2 pound difference I don't see what the big deal is. This product is still being made by VIS correct ,and from what I have been told is that VIS doesn't make crap.

it's not the crap issue or not for me...
it's the pride. i can not take pride in something covered to make look like something it is not.
if it means paying another $100 that is fine with me.
I personally think that this may be a reason why many people are not joining this group buy, so i am going to contact ViS to see if I may attain some more information on the issue

EDIT: I am sorry for bringing this up in a Final GB. Yet I am merely trying to help, as it seems that this one is not going to make 40.

put me on the list....that is if its real c/f who ever is in charge of this g/b can you pleaze email me i have a few questions because i may be buying two for someone not joined through the site

[Andason]

I really hope you people are joking. Do you even know the difference between fiberglass and carbon fiber???? They are both made the same way.

From what you people are saying, it sounds like if you had a little dent in the fender youd go out and buy a new fender instead of using bondo.

Quite honesty I could have said NOTHING and I bet only one person would have noticed it.

are they also covering the whole bottom as well in your set-up? and i really hope it's not a sticker, if they try pulling a $550 plus shipping for all c/f i'll prob join in the fiberglass + c/f then

yeah dude...it IS a carbon fiber hood...just not 100%. You loose no functionality by having part of it fiber glass. I dont see what the big problem is. You'll probably never have a chance to get a hood like this unless you do it now...yet you guys are worried about something that insignificant? It just doesn't make sense to me.

If this group buy makes it to 50, what will the price be? Including shipping and everything? 350? And what the deal with the hood latch, will it work or no? Once these questions are answered i may possiably be in.
