VIS show off shots.. .
Warning to any1 who buys aftermarket hoods:
Originally I had purchased this VIS hood for the CF effect, lightness & cost factor. Now into this i'm finding out the Mini hoods are very complex. There are many curves & attachment points to be mated. It may be a less $500 bucks but the install will cost that in labor alone. There are return policies on most products & in this case only 10days. CF products MUST be carefully checked & installed after recieving. If you are a perfectionist I definately would not suggest this route.

Under the hood the glass work is very revealing. Most will just leave it alone but I will most likely make light weight panel/s up to hide it.
