:eek: WOW, those are highway robbery prices....where did u get them??

I got my Vis CF hood for way way less and I'm very happy w/the quality. I recommend it.

Look around for a good price or contact Vis directly, theres no way you should pay 700 for it.

I got mine at my local shop, Evolution Auto Performance in Chicago. I dont know if they will ship to you if you're far but i got mine along w/my sparco seat and rails for 700 total....so, pretty much my hood cost 350-400. i think thats a good deal for a nice hood.
