Has anyone done this?

Pros/Cons?

Thanks
I had the VIS OEM type hood and I have the VIS GTR hood now.

Pros - LOOKS GOOD...doesn't save any weight...it's about the same...now the TRUNK is a different story.
Cons - fitment is 99%

Here are some pictures:

GTR


OEM

Here is the VIS GTR hood from Trinity Autosport (Joe). Installed for almost two years now, bought the hood used from another member from this site. As for the fitment, it is almost perfect.

Joe, that VIS GT hood looks sick, sick, sick...

Probably too much contrast on my car with CF and Ti Grey.

That, and the two carseats in the back row.

But I love it, Joe. Looks great!
