I've had my VIS OEM CF hood on for about 2000 miles and this happened
VIDEO OF HOOD DENTS
- I DO NOT track my car
- I WAS NOT in a rockslide
- NO accidents (got this hood to replace a damaged stock hood)
In person there are about 20 dents that are visable and this is getting worse and worse by the day. Is this normal for all CF hoods or did I just get a dud? I called VIS and they told me to take a picture so I instead made a video and sent it to them. The guy seemed like he was cool about it and is trying to help me out but I'm not happy that a $500 dollar hood dents like this in 2000 miles of normal driving.
*note this didn't happen suddenly. The dents began appearing gradually which means that its going to get worse =[
*UPDATE 8/16*
I went down to VIS in Rowland Heights and they gave me a new hood! Very nice guys down there. They quickly saw that the dents were not normal and gave me a new version that supposedly fixed the "glue" problem. The warehouse manager seemed to recognize the problem and said that it was a problem that occured a few years back and I must have got the "lucky" hood.
I didn't pay a single extra cent and they even helped me install my hood and adjusted my latch on my car (which i didn't even know was possible).
The hood itself looks different. The lines in the CF are much more straighter and the back of the hood seems to be manufactured differently. I'll update this one more time in a while after seeing if this one dents under the same conditions
