Psychobroker · Post by **Psychobroker** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 7:02 am

Not sure if anyone else posted these, but VIS Racing Sports has released an OEM CF hood for our Vibes. Check out THIS eBay auction. Maybe they will release their other styles for the Vibe:Invader View #1:Invader View #2:Evolution:Xtreme GT #1:Xtreme GT #2They can be found through other web distributors as well, for a fair price as well .

Umm, yes. This is a VIS OEM hood, not their other styles...not sure what you are getting at

No no, my bad. I can see where I confused ya. What I was meaning was that maybe they'll release their other styles for the Vibe as well as the OEM one. Sorry about that

somebody alse posted about a company possibly making that evo styled hood. that one is sweet

Yeah - the Evo style one is perfect. Vent over radiator for extra cooling + air intake right where it should be. That + a short ram intake would be just what I want. I think I'll hold off on buying a CAI for a bit - maybe someone will get this to happen for the Vibe.

i don't understand the whole carbon fiber thing. does it do anything besides being a hood that is black instead of painted colored?

It's more than half the weight of the stock one. If you delve into VIS's site, I believe the Vibe OEM-fit hood weighs only a shade over 12lb's!*REAL* CF is big for racers...and looks

Welp, here's an email I rec'd from VIS about other syle hoods for our Vibes:quote:yes, please call for pricesThank you,VIS RACING SPORTS http://www.visracing.com 400 E.

However, I would be more interested in an Evolution-style hood, or one of your other signature hood styles over an OEM version. Does VIS have any such plans for Pontiac Vibe hoods in the future? Thanks in advance. > >Best Regards, > >Christian Hamlin, broker >ELM Insurance Brokers, Inc.This tells me they a) have them in stock or b) will have them in stock soon. I sent them the following email on 11/5 for clarification, but have yet to hear from them:quote:Thanks for the reply. So you DO have the other style hoods for a Pontiac Vibe available right now? If so, do you happen to have pictures of them on a Vibe? I can gaurantee that MANY of the online Vibe community members will be VERY interested in non-OEM CF hoods, so I'd like to pass on the good news and help PR VIS a bit

Regards,ChristianI'll keep you guys posted.

If I had the money and I knew exactly how it would look on my Shadow Vibe ... I would probably go for it Remember: Someone always has to be first!

I've heard of VIs racing. They do have a good reputation. Have I personally seen one of their hoods, maybe. When you go to a car show you never really know who made the c/f hood unless they advertise for them.

I went to a local speed shop and asked them about VIS racing. He said by far the best hoods out on the market. That is one of the brands he deals with. If you can get this hood I recommend it

sounds good to me, I'll GET IT!
