VIS Carbon Fiber Hoods: The Industry Standard
December 23, 2004
In an industry that is constantly moving with trends coming and going as fast as the cars themselves, VIS Racing has come to the forefront as the industry standard for carbon fiber hoods. While there are over 26 US owned manufacturers of carbon fiber hoods, VIS has truly dominated the industry with well known styles for virtually all makes and models of sport compacts.
Unlike other manufacturers of carbon fiber hoods, VIS has a broad range of exterior styling products including body kits, fenders, spoilers, sport seats and more. In the last few years VIS has gained stature in the industry for producing show quality carbon fiber hoods that exceed the average.
VIS hoods of course use grade a carbon fiber with rolled edges and a urethane clear coat to give these hoods a glossy finish that holds up over time. In addition to that, VIS hoods use a solid underbody skeleton that helps to hold rigidity in the hood under high speeds without the use of hood pins.
One of the most praised features of VIS is the consistancy of thier carbon fiber layering. We have found out of several manufacturers of carbon fiber products, VIS has excelled at laying smooth and seamless carbon. The weave is somewhat traditional and the clear coat is superb, preventing fading and wear and tear far longer than most.
VIS has been able to capitalize on consistant hood styles and is most well known for the OEM, Invader, Evo and extreme GT styles (respectively) which are availble for the more popular vehicles. VIS has also expanded into the Euro market with thier own brand of Euro R hoods made specifically for sporty European cars such as Audi, BMW and VW.
VIS Oem carbon fiber hoods are made for not only the common tuner cars, but for makes you wouldnt expect such as the Mercedes C and E class, the Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima, Pontiac Vibe and even muscle cars like the Chevy Corvette and Ford Mustang. VIS is one of the few companies in the industry that can afford the research and design of some of these off brand models.
With the competition for the carbon fiber hood market so hot, VIS has done an excellent job to provide the consumer with a top quality product at a mid level price making this company the industry leader.
