UNIQUE Carbon Fiber Hood
Here is my Unique VIS Carbon Fiber Hood on my 2005 Nordic Green RX8.
This is the first time I do business with VIS Racing and would definitely do it again...

I think the middle is too square for the 8's lines. But it is different and i can appreciate that.

Nice looking hood. I do have agree though that a little less square would compliment the 8's curves a little better.

looks nice, now paint it.

Looks great but my buddy had a VIS on his EVO and it faded badly in the Texas sun.

I appreciate the comments and I paid 595.00 plus 100 shipping. I received the hood in 5 days and it was a perfect fit easy to install. I will post more pics later on. This hood is called the JS and it was recommended to me by Irwin who works at JS and was very helpful with the selling and instructions

The original company that made that hood design is ODULA (local Japanese Tuning House)
