I received my hood from VIS..

As the delivery guy was pulling the hood off the truck I see the huge gash in the box..


After opening and unpacking the hood, I inspected it and it was flawless thanks to the good packing.


I then started prepping the car by removing my stock hood

With a little help from my little brother I installed the hood


The fitment was spot on! I couldn't ask for a better fit.. VIS really did an outstanding job!!


And here you have it she's all done.

Same as stock, if not a few pounds heavier... Never got an exact weight.. But it's not bad..

Hey Wonka,

I'm looking to get that hood for my Z as well, any idea if it fits the 2015 Sport 370z as well?

Glad the hood worked for you Wonka. Looks good!

So.. Do the police always hang outside your garage when you are working on your car?
