Hoods and Trunks are made from 100% ISO-certified, Grade-A carbon fiber material. All VIS Carbon Fiber Hoods and Trunks are manufactured using a two-part construction design. The top layer is composed of carbon fiber material bonded to the hood surface with high-grade epoxy resin, and finished with an ultra-clear (Poly Shield), UV-protective polyurethane coating for a high gloss finish. A one-piece, smooth underside shell is fused to the top layer enhancing the products structural integrity. The edges are smoothed by hands to insure good quality finish all around. In 2014, we further improved on this manufacturing process by introducing the Vacuum Infusion Process (V.I.P.), which utilizes a single-mold vacuum to produce parts that are 10-20% lighter than before while improving durability. We are transitioning our full spectrum of carbon parts to use the VIP process so that our customers can enjoy these improved products without incurring a huge cost increase.
All VIS Carbon Fiber Hoods and Trunks come with a VIS badge of authenticity. Please be sure to look for the badge when purchasing. Due to the unknown nature of the intended uses of these products, hood pins are required. These products are intended for off-road use only, unless your local and state laws state otherwise.

Painting VIS Racing Aerodynamics Products
VIS Racing brand aerodynamics will follow traditional FRP (fiberglass) preparation where every visible inch of the finish will need to be sanded to eliminate any blemishes including gelcoat chips, scratches, pin holes etc. By block sanding the finish you will be able to see the straightness of the product as well as anything that will need to be glazed with finish body filler. The finish on VIS Racing brand aerodynamics is just a basic primer coat that was used to help the part pop free from the mold when it was originally laid up. This is not a surfacing layer intended to be directly painted or to be installed without paint as it lacks UV protection. The more time spent on prep the better the finished install and quality of the paint job will be. Once the part has been totally prepped we suggest using a high build primer suitable for FRP to be sprayed and wetsanded before the base coat and clear coat is applied. High build primer will provide a thickness of finish applied on top of the part that can be easily sanded and checked for perfection.
About VIS Racing
VIS Racing Sports, Inc.
has been at the forefront of automotive restyling since 1996. We started the
ultra-aggressive style in body kits for sport compact cars in Southern
California. The trend quickly spread from the West Coast to East Coast. In a
matter of a few years, our styles can be found in many parts of the globe. This
trend culminated with the release of the movie, "Fast and Furious"
(2001), in which we were one of the primary sponsors. We were not content with
the status quo and continued to bring new products to the restyling scenes. Our
carbon fiber hoods and trunks are the de facto standard Grade A against
which other competitors in the world are measured. Our carbon fiber products are
number one in the industry, and their popularity can be seen on the streets as
well as car shows alike. We are also making inroads into the Japanese market
with the help of our partner in Japan. Our products can be seen in Japanese
magazines, such as Auto Fashion and Options magazines.
Our participation with Hollywood did not stop in 2001. On the contrary, it was
just the beginning. We provided two fully modified 02 RSX and 03 Eclipse,
with our patented GT Bomber Body Kits and Torque Body Kits; respectively, for
the Warner Brothers movie, Torque (2004). The beginning race sequence
shows these two street demons racing on the highway. Our latest partnership with
Hollywood can be seen in Lindsay Lohans Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005), in
which our patented GT Bomber body kit and EVO style carbon fiber hood were
featured on the 1997 Eclipse. On another front, our products are featured in
numerous video games with racing themes, some of which include Electronic
Arts Need for Speed: Underground 2, Juice, Forza Motorsport 1
& 2.
We at VIS have gone through many stages of growth, but none can be more drastic
than the one we experienced in the year 2004. In 2004, we acquired Wings West, a
name that should be familiar to anyone in the restyling industry. It was a much
revered brand against which other competitors strived to be second.
We have expanded our warehouse from 45,000 square feet to over 100,000 square
feet, our inventory is ample, and we strive to provide the fastest shipping
possible. Any question feel free to contact us.

You can Save with Bundle Shipping !
When it comes to shipping body kits and aerodynamic products, we offer a convenient grouped shipping option.
You can select up to three body kit items - such as a front bumper, side skirts, and a rear bumper - and they will be shipped together for a single shipping charge.
However, once you add a fourth item to your cart, the shipping costs will be recalculated. At that point, you’ll need to select a new shipping option for what we classify as an "oversized body kit."
***Please note that - hoods, trunks, and hatches do not qualify for this bundled shipping option and must be shipped separately.
Aerodynamics Product Disclaimer
We want all consumers to know that there will always be minor sanding, shaving, cutting, and/or filling prior to installing FRP (fiberglass) parts. The primer and or gel coat finish must have every square millimeter completely sanded and other prep work will be required prior to painting.

Delivery Inspection Procedure
- **Oversized Freight Delivery Requires Inspection Upon Delivery (Tractor Trailer Shipments Only)
- **It is extremely important to follow these instructions exactly to ensure that your shipment will be covered by the damage insurance.
When the shipment arrives, please be sure to thoroughly inspect the box and its contents for any major damage to the parts. You must unpack the order and remove each item from the box to check for concealed damage. If you do find damage to any of the items, please physically write "Damaged" on the delivery bill. Do not write anything else other than "damaged" on the delivery bill as it can affect the outcome of a claim decision by the shipping company. You will then accept the shipment as is, and notify us immediately. We will ask for digital pictures to verify that damage has occurred as it will be needed for processing the claim. In the instance major damage has occurred, we will file a damage claim with the shipper and ship you new parts as soon as they are available.
**Please note that if a product is damaged in transit and it was not inspected at delivery and not noted so on the delivery bill, we will be unable to assist beyond that point. Once the customer signs the bill of laden the shipping company will not allow us to submit a claim on your behalf.
**For orders shipped to a body shop it is your responsibility to contact them prior to delivery to ensure they inspect it before signing for it. If your body shop signs for the package without inspecting its contents for concealed damage we will not be able to file a claim for you with the shipping company.
**Do not discard any of the packaging or plastic wrap when a damage shipment occurs. We will need images of the box as well as the internal packing. We will also need image of the part # label that may appear on the part or bagging if applicable.
