VIS Hood install
 
I found this auction on ebay, and If you scroll down to the terms and conditions it says "Professional Installation Required - Installation must be done by a professional body shop."

I figured it was an easy bolt-on like an exhaust, etc..any of you with VIS hoods had trouble installing?

it's an easy install. you might need a buddy help you hold the hood while you bolt it on, but it's not difficult at all. it should be 4 bolts at the most.

on my friends hood, the holes for the washer nozzles were there, but we drilled and mounted the rest of the stock hood parts. (the heat shield, rubber lining, ect. )

Thanks for your response, I was wondering about that with the rubber lining underneath the hood..so the VIS hood doesn't come with it? Is it easy to take off and reinstall?

what you see is what you get. i'm almost positive that there isn't anything included but the hood. i'll be surprised if there are mounting holes for any of the stock parts (the lining and what not)

the heat shield is held onto the stock hood with plastic plugs. you should be able to line up the shield onto the new hood and use it as a template for making new mounting holes. use a dremel drill for more control and drill into the frame of the hood (should be plastic), and not the hood its self.

Actually I was surprised to see that VIS CF hoods actually do come with the holes for the underside rubber lining if you do decide to add one. I haven't bothered to swap the one that is on my original hood, so I don't know if it's easy to just take it off the stock hood and putting it on the CF hood. But I do know that the holes are there if decided to add on the rubber lining.
