2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf 7 2DR & 4DR DTM Style Carbon Fiber Hood

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.
