My new VIS carbon fiber hood!!!

I was in a small bumper accident a while ago and need to get a new hood soo i decied to get a carbon fiber hood. So I got one and the eyelids just didnt seem right it felt like it was just floating soo i decied to go get some vinyls just soo see how it would look.


So to sum it all up I need you guys( the people who help me make the hardest decisions) to give me your input on this. if you guys like it then I am gunna get it painted, when i get my accolade evo8 kit or me road race kit.... one of them cant decide on that either... but for now please give me your thoughts thanks !!!!

vis hood-no vinyls

vis hood-with vinyls



and again just to clear it up: these are just $60 vinyls i got it to see how it looks so i can get it painted like that. and the white vinyl is really white dosent really match the paint at all but it gets you the idea for what i am goin after.!

i think if he got rid of them both it would look nice also... or just keep both... cuz the vinyls seem to make the eyelids flow better

What about carbon-fiber-look vinyl on the inner halves of the eyelids (keep the outer parts white)? I think that would flow even better, and it's a less-permanent mod that you can change later if you don't like it. Photoshop anyone??

I'm not a fan of it because it'll give the illusion that the trunk is smaller hen it is, as well as sectioning off the hood not only where it meets the side fender, but then again where th viynl meets the CF.

Hood looks great! I know you say it's VIS, but damn if it doesn't look identical to my RRM hood.

I think it looks good, the eye lids do help the vinyls flow. And just because he has a EVO wing and CF hood doesn't mean he's trying to be an EVO. What is wrong with trying to make your car look good, besides there are a lot of people on here with that wing or CF hood or even both.
