what?!? GO TED

If I end up with another e30 for some reason, I'd be in, it would offset some of the weight of a 24v and a turbo :firehop:
dum de dum......

Interested. In SF also. Let me know if you get the hoods.

clarification on the hoods since i have one on my car....

Hood is lightweight... lighter than stock... however it does have tons of gelcoat so it could be lighter i suppose... weave is flawless and is not wavy and the finish is great

Fitment... if you get within 15feet of the car is is painfully obvious that it doesnt fit... it is 3/8 of an inch too narrow on either side of the hood and about 1.5" too chort length wise... it bows .1" up in the middle and is .5" too low in the back... there is also an 1" gap between the underside of the hood and teh top of the gasket on the back of the engine bay( if your tall enough you can see the engine from the drivers seat...

i am happy with it for the price but if your looking for a perfect fitment expact to pay a lot more... i heard that CDOC hoods fit a lot better and are a lot lighter... just my 2 cents i love my hood but if its a show car look else where

because it is shorter and skinnyer than stock you are saving weight there too... so if anyone says it doesnt fit right, just tell them i wanted it smaller because it weighed less

where is VIS located? would they allow for pick up?

[golde30]

VIS is located in california. i dont know if they allow pickup, maybe for a large wholesale purchase. i have seen a VIS hood in person, it doesnt fit as bad as that description makes it sound.

[MR 325]

Any word on this guys? Lets get a GB together! No maybes, only for sures.

[e30Matt]

Yes, do! I've got a definite here.
