Re: VIS carbon fiber hood

It's been up on eBay a few times for like high $400's. I personaly have never had or seen any VIS carbon accessories up close, so I really can't say honestly much about them, but many people here on the forum say it's garbage.

As for the price, the Z's carbon fiber hood was in the high $600's when it first hit the market, but now you can get em for like $250, so be patient and see what comes out (if you can wait and deal with your dent)....

Oh and lastly, have you looked into paintless dent removal from companies like Dent-X and Dent Wizards? They'll charge ya anywhere from $75 to $150, and can for the most part get out most any dents without the need for typical body shop work. This will only work and look right if there's no paint missing....

Re: VIS carbon fiber hood

Well look at that - What a coincidence! A VIS carbon fiber hood for the G35 is on eBay!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2440053850

Buy it now at $448.00, but is it for the Coupe or the Sedan?

Re: VIS carbon fiber hood

not to burst your buble or anything, but, that carbon fiber hood will save you like 3 to 5 pounds of weight at most. the stock hood is all-aluminum...

VIS do make lower quality products........especially bodykits that generally have fitment issues. It's a smaller company compared to Wings West and Erebuni and their customer svc is not the greatest. But they do make cheaper parts, reflecting their quality and quality standards.

I deifinitely agree that, you won't loose much weight. You might loose more than few pounds, but it won't make much difference. You can just keep you gas tank 1/4 full and not have any passengers and you would probably loose more weight.
