VIS AMS CF hood review

Ordered from Bodykitdepot.com, packaged very very well and delivered at a reasonable time (out of stock at the time of order).

Fit like a glove on the first try of install:


Nice finish, the hood clamps down good when you close it and very large vents for the FI guys:




As for the heat issue, I can see heat waves coming out of the vents when the car is stopped. I have not seen dramatic heat reduction while driving hard or stop and go traffic. However, the recovery time to cool the temp has improved.

I probably need more air coming in now, and plan on drilling the front bumper with small circular holes to see if more air flow will help with the coolant temp issues.

I am planning on paint matching the hood, but do you guys have any recommendations to keep some CF parts visible? Or keep it all CF as is? Or some funky designs? any suggestions would help!
