Re: FEELER: SRT-6.com groupbuy ViS Racing carbon fiber hood for $500-$650 USD
Are you guys going to cut into these hoods to install the hood pins? The more I think about it, the more I like the idea....but I'm not cutting or drilling into the CF/Fiberglass. It seems like that is just asking for problems.

There is a lot of aerocatch DIYs outthere. If you do not want to do it, let your local shop do it. It is not needed to do it but I guess ViS will always state it is needed due to safety measures.

Just my $0.02

I don't know too many 'local shops' I would trust to cut into a brand new hood, or how many would take on the liability for such a small job. I had a hard enough time with mine, and it was a perfect circle, but trying to cut an oblong shape into a pice that will have both a top and bottom plate would be no walk in the park. I am not trying to turn anyone off, but lets get real, this is not something a local shop is going to tackle, if they do, they would probably charge a few hundred bucks, I know I would.

First it is not obligatory
Second there are a lot of DIYs out there to follow
Third, you can use simpler hood pins
Forth, if everything was easy with this, i would not want it. Heck I am even shipping this piece abroad. Plus we do not have the local garages like you guys have with expertise. So if I am doing the pins, It is going to be a DIY.
what happend with risk taking and living on the edge in order to get something exclusive and awesome? I mean if we can do engine transplants...

Waiting on 3rd gen hoods myself.. With VIS having a basic mold.. swings the door wide open for a killer custom function - be - damned AMX style hood..way cheaper than a steel fab..( ).

If I was in the market for a OEM CF hood, yours would be the one. It looks great. What company did that one?

Phil, a question for you -- the initial post says *at least* 20 people... so, would additional people be able to jump in on the initial buy as long as it's before the shipment date? Based simply on the time it takes for tooling/test-fitting at Nissan, I'd say the 8-week window is accurate if not a bit optimistic.
Basically, I am VERY interested but it might be a few more weeks before I can make a commitment of this level. Wasn't sure if the cutoff was at 20, or if VIS would allow the first group buy to have 20+ participants.
If this has already been covered, I apologize.
Thank you,

No money will be asked of anyone (paid to VIS) before we have a testproduct. As we have checked that it is ok, then we will pay 1/3 and rest before delivery. As you say, making the test hood will take time and xmas is around the bend. So if you jump in now, I would guess payment will be due in late jan and early feb.
Go ahead and add me to the list.

Hope all is well, man!

Would be fun if the oldtimers also went into the srt-6 fb page and the crossfire page. Then we would have even better coverage.

Thank u for putting this all together fubu.
