VFN sunoco hood is on the way...
I was pondering the VFN but it has such a long swoop to it. Badass looking hood though

Just looked at this hood on VIS' website. Now going for over 1300? I know this is an old thread but why has the price almost doubled?

1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette 2Dr Cowl Induction Carbon Fiber Hood. VIS Carbon Fiber Hoods and Trunks are made from 100% ISO-certified, Grade-A carbon fiber material. All VIS Carbon Fiber Hoods and Trunks are manufactured using a two-part construction design. The top layer is composed of carbon fiber material bonded to the hood surface with high-grade epoxy resin, andfinished with an ultra-clear (Poly Shield), UV-protective polyurethane coating for a high gloss finish. A one-piece, smooth underside shell is fused to the top layer enhancing the product’s structural integrity. The edges are smoothed by hands to insure good quality finish all around. In 2014, we further improved on this manufacturing process by introducing the Vacuum Infusion Process (V.I.P.), which utilizes a single-mold vacuum to produce parts that are 10-20% lighter than before while improving durability. We are transitioning our full spectrum of carbon parts to use the VIP process so that our customers can enjoy these improved products without incurring a huge cost increase.
All VIS Carbon Fiber Hoods and Trunks come with a VIS badge of authenticity. Please be sure to look for the badge when purchasing. Due to the unknown nature of the intended uses of these products, hood pins are required. These products are intended for off-road use only, unless your local and state laws state otherwise.



That would be my guess...and some how probably Trumps fault too.

Did you do those extractor vents yourself or did a shop? and how is the lift on the hood with them? I have the same hood and I've been reading alot of lift on it over 140.

Thanks. It hurt me to cut into a new hood though. I drove it day one at high speeds (140-160) and you could see the front of the car lift from the under hood pressure and lift pressure. I immediately got these louvers lol
