Carbon Fiber Hoods
Carbon fiber hoods are stylistically and functionally one of the best upgrades for your car, and one of the easiest ways to reduce weight from the high on the car, effectively lowering the center of gravity and the car's mass, thereby improving handling and acceleration. In addition, the vented hoods (fuzion, invader, Xtreme GT and techno-r) aid in lowering under-hood temperatures, creating the optimal environment for your engine to operate in. By having rear-facing open vents, the vents create a vaccuum. At speed, the vacuum pressure is enough to pull air from inside the engine compartment and through the radiator and side bumper vents. This air is cooler than air that has been sitting near the engine and exhaust manifolds. So not only does your engine run cooler from the improved radiator effectiveness, but your intake charge will be cooler and denser, resulting in more oxygen entering your engine. And we all know what that means - more power!
Aside from the technical advantages, there are aesthetic advantages that cannot be denied. The addition of a hood to your car screams enthusiast. CF hoods provide contrast from the rest of the car, making them stand out. In addition, they have the detailed 3D weave that reflects sunlight, making for a very cool effect.
VIS Racing hoods are a great choice. VIS Racing has been making hoods in carbon fiber the longest out of any manufacturer.
