Love my VIS. You can get them dirt cheap as well if you get in on a good groupbuy.

anybody know of any good groupbuys going on right now?

is 315 + 150shipping a good deal?

depends on brand, vis or jsp ya, i paid almost 500 with shipping it overnight

it is a ViS hood, but they quote 150 shipping to a business address...damn.

i didnt see what brand it is,but a guy i know bought a generic one and it warped in less than a month, u might just want to spend the xtra cash and get a good brand with a warranty

good idea

I wouldnt want to be the guinea pig with a CF hood. Look for a solid latch (not just some metal piece screwed in), rolled edges, clearcoat, tight weave, etc.

I would try and get something proven. If you know anyone in your area that wants a hood as well, you can save on shipping bigtime. They may sell for $315 +$150 shipping, but if you get 4 hoods to the same addy, you'll pay $200 for shipping and they may drop it to $300 a hood. Then you pay $350 shipped...its a good way to save you and some buddies a lot of loot. Bulk shipping on hoods isnt much more at all. If they have to ship one, may as well ship more.
