Feedback wanted from those with VIS Carbon TII Hood

I'm trying to determine if the VIS TurboII style hood has a removable scoop like the factory hood. If it is removable, does it fit in the same fashion as the factory piece?
I have a rare reverse vent scoop that I plan on using, but would like to also have a carbon hood if at all possible. Any first-hand knowledge on the matter would be greatly appreciated. I've tried getting answers from various distributors, but none could.


Thanks,

Really? Not one person out there has this hood?

It would only take 2 minutes to answer....or better yet, 2 close-up snap shots.
Help out your Rotary brethren!

If it's the one I'm thinking of it is not removable. It's one piece molded...possibly not functional.

The scoop is removable. Don't know if the dimensions or tolerances are such that the scoop would be interchangeable with OEM.



Here's the inside and you can see the fasteners.



Hope that helps.

My bad, I didn't know there was more than one company making them...apparently the BMagic one is one piece

He specified VIS in his OP and since we have one it caught my eye.

Thank you so much for the pics vrracing!
That is exactly what I needed.

Looks like the sub-structure is a very good copy of the original. Chances are the scoop and skin are close as well.

Thanks again!
