Yeah VIS is crap "imo" the fit to the fender's was off, And the inside of it rubbed on the valve cover and the throttle linkage. Not to mention the hood latch was extremely weak (it flew up on my buddy's car). "They don't make no seatbelt for the mind. So I can't buckle up for this ride!"

Fiber image makes a really nice hood but I'm not to happy with thier hoodscoop. "They don't make no seatbelt for the mind. So I can't buckle up for this ride!"

I just had to reposition the hood-latch - nothing a 10mm and 5 minutes couldnt correct Other than that - the hood fit perfectly! It's not just your imagination...

Minor problem, was that it is slightly shifted to the right, which I tried to pull the left with no luck, but it is hardly noticable. No1, except for me, seems to notice. 21Nemesis
