Vis eclipse Evo hood and G hood

[Fabian972]

Does anyone have them my question is in the center of the hood were the opening is is that shield from rain and what kind of problems if any do you run across?

i had an extreme gt vented vis hood, it caused no problems with my non turbo

I have a VIS Invader, but I don't drive it in the rain, I just don't like the idea of rain flying near the intake, and whatnot.

I don't have one of these hoods, but i do have a vent cut into mine. The only issue i have is the manifold has a little surface rust....i live in maine and it is exposed to rain and SNOW. Once the manifold is heated up, all the rain is going to do is evaporate as soon as it hits it.

Well i am thinking about buying a vis evo style hood for my 1g, but i dont know how it would look on my car, and i was wondering if anyone actually has this hood on their 1g so i can look at it and determine weather or not i am going to buy it and have it painted to match my car, plus it cuts a little weight off cause its carbon fiber and allows some heat to escape out of the engine bay through the vents on top of the hood. So if anyone that has a 1g has this hood on their car let me know, thanks.

Not sure which one I have but its got the big Evo vent on it. It was made by VIS and came with a fiberglass piece that is removable to cover it if you want. That said I do not use the piece and I have been caught in rain with no problems.

I have a VIS hood (forget the name) that has 3 pretty large vents. One over the manifold one over the intake and one over the ps pump.. I have the fiberglass piece that covers the whole area and I use it pretty often now that Im back in Wisconsin.. Pretty much only take it out when Im going on a longer drive and there isnt a chance of rain. I still bring it with.. I have forgotten to put it in at night and its rained and there hasnt been any problems but I just dont like the heat wrap pooring smoke out of my hood until all the water evaporates that was soaked into the wrap..

Im not really a fan of hood cutouts, but a buddy of mine has an EVO hood on his 2g. He gets a bit of surface rust on the manifold when it sits for a while. Every now and then it will stall in the rain when the water gets in the filters.

I doubt that is the reason why it stalls.

I know I have been wondering what the Galant VR-4 vents would look like mounted in a 1g hood... You can even buy carbon fiber or fiberglass copies of them from tunernation.

i have the cf ss hood from vis and the only problem i have is that when it rains real hard that water sits in the valve cover but mine didnt come with a insert

OK, the vis evo style hood looks good on the 2g dsms, but they also make a version of the vis evo style hood for the 1g dsms two, is their any 1g owners that have this hood mounted on their car???

Well, looks like i am going to order the VIS-Evo style carbon fiber hood for 1990-1994 dsm's for my car and get it painted dark blue, like i said, it cuts the weight down a bit and lets some of the heat out of the engine bay, and plus it looks cool and hardly no 1g owner has this hood on their car.

Alright, this is the Evo style carbon fiber hood i was referring to.

Thats just for the 90 models, I have this hood for my 1GB Talon but haven't installed it yet. Having Aerolatches installed first and then it goes on, will post as soon as its done.

90-91 had pop ups.

 

[1991 awd talon]

well i meant post up some pics when its on the car!! . but its all good. good looking hood. as long as the "bump" in the center isn't too high.

Well, i wont be getting back in the states till September, then when i get back ill peice on all thie new parts ive orderd for my car and finish up my new project for my car.

I used to have that hood on my old talon, yes it is shielded from rain. you can unscrew the shield and remove it though.
