im going to get it next week(vis w/raised hood scoop) and i cant decide wheter to get hood pins or not. is it really necessary. i love the clean look. what do you guys think?
its depends how well your hood fits, if its close to a perfect fit, you should be fine but if there is a noticable cap in the front then i would get'em.
ViS isn't perfect fittment, good fittment, but not perfect. Seibon fits perfectly. Also, besure to post pics of your Carbon Fiber hood on your beatiful Celi when you get it.
My car's hood vibrates like crazy at 75 mph. It's carbon fiber by vis. It's perfect fit but around 65 mph, I could tell that hood's bout 1 inch up... I really need a hood pin rite now.
I have no complains about either the fitment on my VIS Invader hood or its stability at high speeds...however, I'm getting a set of Sparcos thrown on there next week, so everyone feel free to toss some links up to the posts where I said hoodpins are for little scared bitches

the fitment loook way out beside the ligths and can it be dangerous if you drive in the rain and the hood jumps a little up is it possible to get water in sri. and the bumper paint looks a little wiered maybe just the picture
Damn, I heard about passenger side gap but didn't think it was that big My VIS Invader hood is nothing like that. Also, I've driven in several heavy rainstorms with a SRI under the hood and no problems.
get em, i would say don't get em if you have civic or other cars without scoop. But our celica hood shakes a lot. After having VIS and fiberimage hood, i would definitly get em. it doesn't matter if you have good or bad quality hood, the Carbon Fiber is weak against multiple scratches from hood latch.
