VIS Racing transitioning full spectrum of carbon parts to use the VIP process so that customers can enjoy these improved products without incurring a huge cost increase.

Initially, carbon fiber (aka carbon) features high strength-to-weight ratio and outstanding rigidity. The material is also referred to as graphite-reinforced polymer (aka graphite fiber-reinforced polymer – GFRP), which is less common as it clashes with either glass-reinforced or glass-fiber-reinforced polymer. In commercials, it's sometimes referred to simply as graphite fiber. Improved manufacturing techniques reduce the costs and time to produce, making the compound common in small consumer goods such as tripods, hockey sticks, fishing rods, paintball and archery equipment, tent poles, drum shells, helmets used as a paragliding accessory, just to name a few. Notwithstanding its relatively expensive cost, carbon fiber is extensively used in aerospace and automotive fields, including Formula One Racing.

With a wealth of combined experience and expertise in developing exclusive solutions for the aftermarket industry, VIS Racing® Sports is nowadays a reputable manufacturer of a diverse range of auto restyling parts, including spoilers, bumpers, side skirts, hoods, and the list goes on and on.

I was originally going to paint the hood to match my FR-S color as I've never really been a fan of too much carbon fiber. I did not because they did the carbon on this so well. It is lightweight and beautiful. Rain is not a problem for the vents and rain guards. Well worth the price and actually perfered over other brands like Seibon.

Looks Great And Functional
I got this hood because my 13 BRZ was damaged by hail and to fix the hood would cost me roughly $200 less than getting a new vented one. I wanted a vented hood to see if it can help in keeping engine temperatures lower as i plan to go FI and its an issue for turbos. According OFT logs, my average temperatures seem to be 5-10F lower with the vented hood (data logs were not made in static conditions). When i sit at a red light, i can see the heat escaping from the vents, even on 90F days! The hood looks awesome on the grey brz, from a distance it looks like its painted and mayches the rest of the car but up close, the CF really stand out. There was no need for trimming, but its not a perfect fit, the CF hood sits about 1/8 inch higher than the very top of the quarter panel. It also comes with rain guards, two big trays that are detachable and cover most of the vent openings but not 100%. I have washed the car (avoiding spraying water directly into the vents) and driven in the rain without the rain guards without any issues. I have only had the hood on for a few weeks, quality wise it looks great but the true test for CF is time so i cant really speak to its quality other than first impressions. The hood itself is slightly heavier than OEM.

Question:
I have read that some carbon fiber pieces fade to green without a clear coat. Do i need to spend the money to clear coat this or is it a rumor.

CARiD Answer:
Hi, the ability of any exterior part of a car to withstand the elements depends so much on the car's care, as well as the climate in your part of the country. Please note that this hood is not raw carbon fiber, but does have a protective coating on it. As per our website: :Finished with an ultra-clear (Poly Shield), UV-protective polyurethane coating for a high gloss finish".
