Read those for more information, but a few tips:
-bad fitment so far
-recalled by ViSracing themselves

i had VIS oem [which fit good] and now i have an VIS invader [which fits okay]. the only wrong thing with my invader hood, is that there is a small finger length gap on the passenger side near the headlight/fender. other than that, theres NO gaps at all. the other side sits flush with the headlight/fender. =/

hope that helps convince you

Hey yeah, i got a VIS invader hood also, tried it on before winter to check the fitment, same problem with a small gap on the right headlight, but nothing major, won't put mine on until after winter though, and after i fix the damn transmission, mine gave out. Hey horst if you get the hood will see you around in a celica meet or two.

The hold your talking about was recalled and is supposed to get the fitment issues fixed. I purchased the first redesigned (prototype) hood from R K E 1 C A who has connections with Vis. Unfortunately my hood got lost during shipping so I cant tell you if the new one fits or not.

Sounds too convenient. You get your money back?

**im talking about the scoop near the frontFirst of all, like everyone else here who has strayed from the main topic (C-One hood replica), which hood are you talking about? The only hood that has a "scoop near the front" is the Invader hood. ViSracing continue to make the original Invader hood design, while Seibon revised theirs with the scoop moved towards the middle and is now referred to as the VSII hood.
