Pictures of ViS carbonfiber hood installed on a Camaro!

I FINALLY found pictures of the ViS 3" carbonfiber cowl hood installed on a Camaro [ViS makes them for te Firebird too]. These are not my pictures and not my car.

And

About the hood gaps,
Yea, but alot of that is my fault. I installed the hood myself, never having done it before. And the left front fender and door are aftermarket I painted and installed myself also, so the alignment is probally off a bit cause of that.
For some reason ViS doesn't have any good pictures of the hood on their website other then the top down view. They also sell the hoods on ebay for around $650 plus another $150-200 for shipping.

I like the design of it, it's kinda Harwood-esque but better. I still don't like carbon fiber in it's exposed form...I'd paint it.

It's better than the ugly cowl hoods I still see a lot of, but I'm not in love with it...

Thanks for posting it though!

The company is ViS Racing. http://www.visracing.com/catalog/index.php

But I always see at least one on ebay at any given time.

You would have to ask ViS. But I do know they use real carbonfiber in their products.

Hood pins remind me of having to safety pin a diaper shut or something...
