haha yeah, and the fact it's something we ahve been talking about for 5 yrs..

 

ehh...VIS is usually hit or miss.

 

Is there any new news on this? Maybe a completion date?

 

Yah, their CF doors would look rough if their fitment was anything like the cf hood fitment.

 

That's about enough outta you sassy pants.

 

all the CF hoods I have installed by them have been excellent. While it's not a "bolt on" they are very nice, much better than other companies I have used.

 

I've never worked with one....just going based off images I've seen of cars with the VIS hoods. Most of them still look kinda open cause of the bottom hood line where it meets the front bumper. It almost flares up towards the arches. Your's and JP's line up pretty well though so it may just be some VIS hoods

 

Oh that does look a little off doesn't it... is there a way to compensate with the bumper for that gap?

 

Yes there is a way to compensate on the bumper...located attached to the two 8mm bolts you must get from the fenderliner are bumper adjustments...just loosen them, pull the bumper up and then tighten them. that simple.

 

Waiting for a call back on an update of progress on the hatches/hoods...will post promptly.

 

I'm still stuck on the CF roof thing.

My R53 came with the sunroof and what I eventually want to do is remove it completely and cap the whole thing with CF. We know that Duell makes a cap for the R56. Even if they made one for the R53, the cost of shipping and duties/customs would make ordering one from Japan prohibitive.

Did someone say they know a company in the U.S. that could do this?

We had a couple guys ready but not enough for Jim to do the job.

 

Update on the order is in...
1.5-2 weeks and the order will be ready

 

Sweet.

 

Offtopic, Tuls, I love your avatar!

 

I would think Seibon has better fitment than VIS, in my experience Seibon has been more consistent with their CF hoods/hardtops/trunks.

 

Orders are ready 2 be picked up... there is still much more if people want these still!

 

any new installed pictures?

 

Just picked mine up the other day. Looks really nice too. Might look at the install later this week.

 

No install pics yet!
However just finished the install. Got the hatch back from clear coat earlier this afternoon. I am getting glass tomorrow so Might get pics up tomorrow...most likely after I get tint which wont be for a few days. As for the install, get some of these

they work well for the handle, and license plate bracket. You will have to drill for the rubber grommet, and do something tricky with your wiring...I am sacrificing FM radio because I have SIRIUS...
Will check everyday to help answer any questions

 

Anyone play with the spoiler?

 

hey what brand is better the seibon or the VIS brand hatch door? Im thinking of getting one for my ride. but Im up in the air I just want to know which one is better in quality.

 

its a beyotch to remove... i have a stock white one if u need it... just spray it black..lol

 

I have no experience with the seibon, but the fittment and quality of the ViS is good. There is fabrication needed, i wonder if the seibon is the same way...

 

I took my stock one off, but it doesnt have the bolt holes pre-drilled on the CF hatch, im wondering if people drilled the holes, or just hacked the bolts and did all double-sided tape...
