This was actually helpful guys thanks! Going VIS now😀
Looks like the VIS hood is based on the Varis CF hood. Thanks for your videos, they’re great! Happy New Years guys!
loving the vis racing hood, also like how your front bumper looks way more aggressive from the bigger lower grille opening.
Great review I like the vis alot more since I watched the video 👍🏼
Got the Vis hood! Thanks for this video and website! 👍🏼
How much was it for you?
gotta love casey, always that drink in his hand
Was thinking about the Seibon myself, but after watching this, Ive changed my mind. The VIS looks way better and I love how the top vents are blocked off to keep water from coming in to the engine bay. Big question is - did you end up installing Aerocatch hood pins? Seibon recommends those, but I dunno about VIS. Second, whats the weight difference between CF and the OEM?
This actually really helped ty
I have the Varis CF hood and these 2 are copies of it right? Especially the one on the left exactly looks like it. The fitment on the Varis thou is spot on no big gaps on the sides. The quality of the carbon fiber is amazing. Do you plan on installing hood pins? Or is it safe to run it as is? Was the screen on the vents already installed when you got it? Mine came with screen for the vents for the sides only and you have to cut it to fit. Didnt install it, looks nice too without it.
Did you guys run the TMiC splitter/duct? Any problem with overheating without it? I got a Seibon and it’s just too much work to transfer over the OEM splitter/duct/shroud thing. It’s like a super good luck project.
Where did you get yours? I am in WA as well. Is there any local shop selling VIS Racing hoods?
I'm so happy you guys got some snow hahaha!! F*cking awesome bro!!! RIP little SNOWMAN LMFAO
Nice review guys! I like the VIS myself
So does Casey really not use snow tires? In the northwest winter? Crazy
Can someone tell me ? Y have a seibon hood, but seibon does not make a carbon fiver trunk with ducktail for my year, if i buy the VIS trunk ? Will it mach the pater en color of my seibon hood ?
Are the side vents not functional then if their covered up?
So the instructions on the carbon fiber hoods is to not use gas struts and must use hood pins...have you guys had any issues with the gas struts and no hood pins?
Where did you get the VIS hood? Could you please drop a link.
love the soundtracks in all the vids. I tried looking at the underside of the hood, but couldn't see. are the side vents nonfunctional? or were there other holes away from the vent covers for the heat to escape from that I couldn't see
The vents are functional. The rain guards were installed in the video and are removable.
is the driver side louver or vent directly over the battery?
I have a Siebon wing and it started to brown after a year of use.
How does the look of the carbon fiber weave compare to each other? Same weave? Same depth?
Does the VIS hood fit the 2019+ models?
High school jacket, hat bill flipped up and a monster you rock....! 1990 rules... :(
Which car has the siebon hood? Dark blue or light blue?
VIs hood 98% looks like varis lol
How different is the thread?
My guess the standard fvckboy setup: wide body kit, Apr wing, work wheels, maybe wrap maybe Subispeed headlights
What fuel upgrades are needed to run the aftermarket cold air intake with Cobb downpipe and invidia r400 exhaust on my 17 sti
Never hurts to have a pump and injectors. Also get a Fuel pressure Regulator installed like the aeromotive unit (fuel injection model). It can be tuned without fuel upgrades but your power gain will be small because you need more fuel for the more air your turbo will push in. Also get a grimspeed 3port EBCS to help controll boost or even an external wastegate setup is best (I have one 38mm is great!)
thats a sweet vis hood.
Why no pins?
Link to the carbon fiber hood
Its been 7 months since this video. How have the hoods held up? I am interested in the VIS hood but want to make sure no major defects or issues have occurred. It seems like the 3 major choices would be Seibon, Varis or VIS.
So far so good! TBH, it still looks brand new and I drive my car daily.
My WRX Channel did you get it clear coated or anything? i want to grab on but heard about yellowing issues, at least with the seibon one maybe vis is different
Are the colors the same ??
So on the VIS hood does the covers that catch water allow enough air flow through? Just curious as it looks like they are really restrictive.
The covers are removable.
nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ima get that hood
Whats the weight difference
All you need is some coffee for those donuts 🍩😂😂
wow, went to the VIS website and that hood is pricey man. Good for you. I'm surprised they can sell them for $1850. I like it alot though. Daum!!!
Look around. You can get them for WAYYYY cheaper.
VIS priced their products on their website higher on purpose lol
I found it for 1276 and Im still searching. Im sure I can find it even cheaper than that! @@FronkG
Arachnikadia hey man, I can help ya out with a VIS hood lol
VIS CARBON FIBER HOOD is what ill be getting ?👍👍👍. it'll look great on my Hyper blue .
I heard the Seibon is actually heavier than the stock hood, can anyone confirm this? And is VIS the same way?
Not true
I had the seibons but sold it , started to fade after a month. Yes you have to clear coat it but it shouldn't fade so fast
bruh if you don't protect the carbon from UV radiation it's going to fade. that's entirely your fault
I should make a parody banner for my 2.5i "Subie No Flow"
Hey what part of Washington are you from I would love to see your car in person I got station here in Washington
I think bremerton?
I'm stationed in whidbey
Do you know if the verus block off plate fits the vis hood scoop?
I emailed Verus and they said it’s a no go for fitment
@@xXHoruga05Xx yeah I ended up selling my CF good and going back to oem
Is it really an issue on the seibon hood when it rains?
no, i’ve ran one for probably a year and have had no issue
Ok so does water get in through those vents? I want to buy 1 but I keep wondering how it does in the rain
See 7:56.
@@CarsWithJR do u know if the Seibon comes with the rain guards as well? Looks great.
nemoz_wrx it does not. Reason why I went with the VIS hood.
@@CarsWithJR I love the VIS 1 has a bigger scoop. Looks really nice. The rain guards on it to were perfect. Really liked the video
With the rain guards, does the heat even get to escape from the vents?
At least you have the option to have it on or off.. also the VIS has those exit vents on the waterfall part of the hood anyway... 🤷♂️
Dang that's tough man!!! 🤣😭😭😭
The Seibon guy is gonna blow up the engine eventually if he has TMIC and not have the internal stock Intercoolet Vent installed
Vis has bigger scoop , aggressive angled vents , better clear coat , rain guards ! VIS all day
How much does the Vis racing hood weight?
About the same as the stock hood. Maybe a tad less.
definitely not worth it then
From their official website. Most of their CF hoods weigh around 15 pounds but of course, if you have a bigger car it'll weight a little more.
1:24 this is what every Subaru wrx owner looks like..
Both of them look clean and humble!!!
Vis ftw
I wouldn't say minimal difference.. idk. The vis is much better IMO...
Seibon ftw
VIS looks WAY better
your hood is bootleg bro
herman munster how is it bootleg
over exposed af
Getting out of control for me now. It was fun in the early days. Best of luck. I'm out.
lmao bye. i enjoy the shit out of his channel
