carbon hoods cheap?

would anyone trust and ebay hood such as this...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-94...spagenameZWDVW

its going to be painted so the tight weave doesnt matter that much. VIS is good or not so much? I like this design best except for the Spec R(yeah right) so i was trying to find one.

Also, does ANYONE know where to find a V-Mount kit or is every single one off the market right now? HKS is not available overseas(here) and Rotary Extreme I cant get ahold of...

IIRC correctly, most people have been happy with their VIS CF hoods. I would recommend buying from VIS directly to avoid any mishaps with shady ebay sellers.

A few months back I saw the same deal and I questioned the authenticity of the hood. I called ViS to confirm and they told me that indeed it is not a ViS hood and people have complained to ViS about the hit and miss fitment of the hoods that this seller provides. Since it's not a Vis Hood they can't help the buyers in anyway. They also told me that they are looking into legal ways to stop this individual. I guess they havent been succesful.

Don't believe just call Vis. The number is listed on their website.

Hey Montego:

Any info you can share with the forum of how to tell if its an authentic ViS hood or the knockoffs?

I'm just curious...

Apparently, the copies also have the ViS plaque so I don't know how one can tell the difference. I found out is by calling ViS since they know who sells stuff for them.
