IS the VIS real C.F. or just the overlay type though. And if your putting all the panels and stuff back onto it is it really saving that much weight. The only reason I want to get one is for weight saving not style. I'm not saying that the VIS doesn't save weight, but look at there hoods. Everyone thinks that the VIS CF hoods save like 10lbs or something like that, but in reality they save like 2 lbs if that. Pettits hatches can be used with the stock hinges and saves a sh*t load of weight. There are some down sides to the hatch but overall I think its better in the performance sense of it.

As far as the Pettit is concerned, I'm pretty sure it doesn't use the stock hinges or mounting points. It's merely a skin that you have to custom fab to get to fit the vehicle. I don't mind doing that, however at this point I'm getting tired of doing custom work.
