I need some advice. I am thinking about getting the Scoot replica carbon fiber hood with VIS wrapping listed on the parts for sale section for $400.

Can someone explain to me the cons of getting a replica hood? I don't want something of inferior quality that would hinder proper installation. I like taking my FD in the 140mph+ range, so I don't want any hoods popping out or flying off my car.

Also would anyone know of the weight for the Scoot replica? Is it heavier then the stock hood since it's not 100% carbon fiber?

Any advice that could be shared would be appreciated. I had an awful experience with a replica bumper literally torn off my car when I took a hard corner before so I want to be more careful when selecting a hood. Thanks.

 

hey dude if ur worried about havin the the hood fly off at 140+ just use hood pins!!



my buddy just got his scoot hood from vis he says the quality is top notch and has no clearance problems at all

i suggest u get the hood with the rain gutter ...beside u can always take it off

Fitment was good overall. To make it square I am going to have to make slots in the hood hinges. Quality is great and it is as light as the OEM hood(or pretty close anyway)

 

Me and my friends have personal experience with VIS hoods. They are great quality hood and fit perfect.
