i wouldnt even buy a VIS hood. i think they are a POS company IMO. i would only get one from TC spoilers or fiber images. they are the only companies besides someone like spoon of JUN that i feel have mastered building CF hoods and not making them heavier than they need to be. i weighed my friends VIS hood compaired to my old hood(TC spoilers)... mine was 11 lbs, his was 19. my stock hood was 48 lbs his was in the 30's you get what you pay for, and while vis might look pretty with a huge layer of coating on it, its heavier and they never fit quite right in every case i've seen(i herd they are getting better, but the wieght is too high compaired to stock wiegh of hoods). remeber the point of a CF hood, to be strong and light as possible.

save for turbo.
