So I have a few grand to blow on the viper, I'm 90% sure I want an 08 hood. Should i stick with the conventional 08 factory hood or pick up a vipair hood? and if so on the vipair hood can someone link me to it? I'm having a hard time finding which hood on Vipairs site is the Vipair hood and not the 08 hood.

Or if someone else has any good ideas for mods shoot them at me!

I'm putting springs and caps on the ride tomorrow night as well, im pumped!
BTW i have a 2006 FE Coupe, if that matters.
Now shoot me some ideas

thanks
-Matt

Matt I went with the Vipair because of the raised center section.

Mines getting put on right now. Body shop called last night and said the fit was very good.

Good luck with your choice any 08 hood will look great.

ANDY - I'll call you later today, I have been a bit busy at my Canadian office, relocating the office, it's amazing how much garbage accumulates over 20 years in a 13000 sq ft office space.

Yes, and that's the part I wouldn't care for. But some people prefer that. To each his own.

VIPAIR HAS both Factory and Vipair style hoods now, check out my website for all the iterations, they ship same or next day now as well, we have more hoods in stock now than Chrysler themselves have!

Steve thanks for the call. Looking forward to seeing the new carbon hood!

And as Steve mentioned already he does have both styles.

I have'nt had any problems whatsoever with my carbon fiber VIPAIR hood.
The raised center scoop is more "aggressive" looking...IMO

It's not very noticeable, which was intentional, but I left the center section of the hood exposed CF...

I should quote treesnake again but here is another link to
bmw2nv2000s review. It just looks like there is more of a gap in the vipair hoods.

That is just killer treesnake :2tu:


Funny thing that I have learned about Vipers over the years.


No Viper is the same.

A body part that "fits" on one car may not fit on another car.
Even though they are identical in year, body style etc...

The gap between the hood and the fender can be remedied by adjusting the fender.
I had to adjust the fenders when I went from OEM '06 to an OEM '08 hood too...

It is, what it is...

:dunno:

Thanks for the compliments on my car...:D

We fitted my fiberglass Vipair hood on Thursday and the gaps were seriously OEM width and it fit great! Saw Steves Carbon hood and ordered it so the fiberglass hood is back in the box. I will get the carbon hood in about a week or so.
