So i found a MINT GT4 hood today at the boneyard for $150, traded it to a buddy of mine who is looking for one, and i got his VIS hood. It was fun transporting it. New proud owner of the GT4 hood is Lil-Joe101.



Test fit, painting soon. By the way, he likes the hood gap, but is ordering a GT4 bumper soon.


My new hood, painting soon. I like the gap too, and the VIS provides it. I won't be ordering a GT4 bumper, only thing good about it is that vent between the headlights.




Can't wait to get it installed.

For those of you who are gonna give me crap for giving up the GT4 hood, i don't want one since i don't have a GT4, much less a turbo.

Comments are welcome though

who likes gap??? lol...i wish we had junkyards over here with gt-four crap just layin around....good find and 150 for that hood is quite a deal....good luck with both the hoods though

Concerning the gap, does the latch still close, but there's still a gap because the GT4 bumper sits higher?

-Matt

gt4 hood latches to stock latch, vis requires pins or a longer hook.

which style VIS hood is that? doesn't look like the usual one I see..

vented fiberglass. have the bottom primered, sanding the top in a few minutes, painting bottom then top.

2 coats of white

finished with bottom

and the top tomorrow

So you'll have the gap too? Nice. It's a personal preference thing really. The hood latch works but watch the safety latch - I'm told it only sometimes catches but I've got hood pins from the previous CF hood so it's not an issue.
That's gonna be a very unique look you've got there. Subscribing cause I can't wait to see how this turns out.

i've got pins too... that's what the holes are for, oh, and i've got some vents for the fenders to complete the look... it's gonna be a transformation... one more coat on the top and it's off to work. that will be 2 coats, a couple more to go.

Yeh I'm with Death on this one, I can't wait to c wut it looks like on the car. Sill lovin the Gt4 hood. Thanx again man. lol

Update!

yeah, still painting it... just put my last can on it, need to go to the store. tuesday night i ran 2 different autobacs outta paint. only had like 4 cans each, takes about 2 for a good coat.

pic is 2 days old after 3 thin coats
