VIS AMS Style Hood
 
Who here runs the VIS AMS style hood on your G coupes and if so do you use hood pins or stock latches?

I have that hood and no latches. Been running it for almost a year now. I go to mexico all the time and no problems.

Wow, yours sits amazingly flush compared to most I've seen! I've noticed that mine seems to have come with spots for stock latches to sit. Did you have to do any modifications for it to sit so well?

Hmm not really, I just removed the old one and put this one on. Just make sure to have someone else hold the other side so it screws down evenly.

Are you running your washer fluid lines on it too by any chance? I’ve got the hood on now so that’s my next issue.

You can make the wholes bigger or use 3m tape. Mine is not a daily anymore so havent really messed with it

That small gap was not there when new, I think it started bowing after I was going around 135mph. I will try to raise the top bumper lip to minimize gap.

Vizard_87 08-29-2018 08:48 AM
meh gap is not that noticeable unless you're being nit picky lol

saywat? 08-29-2018 02:15 PM
^yea if the cars black. lol

F13SC 08-29-2018 08:57 PM
The truth is it does bother me a little but nothing I can do. for sure it wasn't like that 2 weeks ago

If you remove the spring for the hood latch the gap goes away. Or possibly find a different spring.

I purchased everything new, Latch with spring and strikers. Problem looks like it's taking air in the center and forming rounder while the sun beats on it. Didn't help when I was testing last air suspension adjustments and was driving at around 135mph, I think that's what happend

Don't know whats stronger really, I just got it for looks

I'll take a look at the spring tomorrow but most that I have seen all look the same

hi, I'm about to receive this hood this Thursday and will be installing it with my neighbors help. I'm also thinking of putting a quicklatch 38 hood pins. My question is do you think you can install them on our body chassis, I was looking inside the hood bay and it looks hard to do

If you purchased the vis racing hood from OC and you have that gap in front you should give them a call and let them know.
