are they any good? someone has offered me a vis carbon fiber in almost new condition w/ a red silvia badge (my prefered color) and hood pins for 200+shipping (~100)...worth the money? are they quality hoods or just somthing that is gonna crack/split/fly up on me in the future? also, the fitment looked very good, and he said it was perfect...is this true?

thanks for any input :)

Hey ghst 01, do you like the look of the Vader style hood with the stock body? Are you planning a body kit? If so which one? I'm looking at the eBay R33 kit, clean and flares the bottom to fit my FN01's nicely. The other kit i'm thinking about is the Bomex kit. I really want a kit that sets off the vent on the hood. Maybe you know of a good front bumper that really plays the part?

Car looks good BTW, keep up the anti-rice...

i had a vader hood when I was zenki and it cracked and bubbled and it was rather hard to make it fit.

I now have the oem kouki VIS hood and it fits quite nicely.

I've had mine for around 6 months now, no problems whatsoever.
