Well after 2 weeks of waiting (and me not being able to find a truck to haul me around), I finally made a trip to Never Enough Auto in Grant.
to pick up this
Bet you can't guess what it is!...oh crap, it says it on the box...
Brand New VIS Invader CF Hood!
And of course, I had to put it on when I got home!
With the help of my friend Nate (and his S10)
Old hood off
New hood on
Sorry for some of the pics being blurry. Crappy lighting in my garage and me not knowing how to operate a Canon Rebel lol
I'm debating doing a little paint work. I'm going to photoshop some stuff later.
C&C Welcome and Appreciated
Now With More Carbon Fiber!
that hood looks so much better than the painted one.
good freaking choice.
We all need somebody to believe in something...
Can I have your red hood? Lol.

Thanks. It was between the Invader and the Evo. The Evo was more similar to my Predator, but I like the simpler lines of the Invader with the simpler lines of the Type-J kit.

I liked the red hood.... cf is nice and all, but why the change?
looks good but clear it before it turns yellow...
Isaak - I've always wanted CF, and the quality of the Predator was awful.
Arrival - Goes to get cleared next week

looks much better. heres ones uggestion for you.
now mines an OEM style but its a real life reference for you.
I'm thinking of doing the paint Eric Fracis-style; painting the majority of the hood with the exception of the inside of the scoop. Photoshopping should be done soon. Pic will follow.

I always liked your old hood. The cf looks really good to but Ive always been a fan of the predator.

For Sale
Why did you have to wait to get it...do what my fiance did and drive 6.5 hours without a hood to pick it up and have them insall it
See no time wasted!!!!!!
Not unintentionally accelerating since 2009!!!!
You willing to sell your old Hood?
Oh s***, he has two fire extinguishers in there!
I wouldve loved to just drive hoodless to get it, but a bad fuel pump said I wasn't going anywhere
As for selling it, I have one person asking about it now that gets preference (cuz he's local and a friend). But if he doesn't want it, check for it in the Mid East forum
More pics to be had once it runs and I can get it out of the garage.
Now With More Carbon Fiber!
do all aftermarket hoods have a gap on the passanger side

If this is the gap you are talking about:
I think it's in the angle of the shot. I'm about an 1/8" from even on both sides.

Sexy! Some paint on there would be tits!

if you drill out the fendeer mounting holes it allows you to push the fender in more. i did that on my old red fenders
