SEIBON vs VIS RACING CARBON FIBER HOOD | 2015 SUBARU WRX | 2016 HYPER BLUE STI

[@woodyscrappyopenings5707]

This was actually helpful guys thanks! Going VIS now😀

[@tonyliu9982]

Looks like the VIS hood is based on the Varis CF hood. Thanks for your videos, they’re great! Happy New Years guys!

[@jcsalamante4506]

Got the Vis hood! Thanks for this video and website! 👍🏼

[@MiguelLopez-mf5vj]

How much was it for you?

[@J.NOBODY.1]

loving the vis racing hood, also like how your front bumper looks way more aggressive from the bigger lower grille opening.

[@5murf495]

Great review I like the vis alot more since I watched the video 👍🏼

[@Arachnikadia]

Was thinking about the Seibon myself, but after watching this, Ive changed my mind. The VIS looks way better and I love how the top vents are blocked off to keep water from coming in to the engine bay. Big question is - did you end up installing Aerocatch hood pins? Seibon recommends those, but I dunno about VIS. Second, whats the weight difference between CF and the OEM?

[@JeffreyWalder]

gotta love casey, always that drink in his hand

[@chrisbrown3277]

High school jacket, hat bill flipped up and a monster you rock....! 1990 rules... :(

[@jeffreyflowers5821]

Why no pins?

[@jamescasey1034]

How does the look of the carbon fiber weave compare to each other? Same weave? Same depth?

[@trollbunny]

This actually really helped ty

[@backtothecanvas]

Its been 7 months since this video. How have the hoods held up? I am interested in the VIS hood but want to make sure no major defects or issues have occurred. It seems like the 3 major choices would be Seibon, Varis or VIS.

[@CarsWithJR]

So far so good! TBH, it still looks brand new and I drive my car daily.

[@Sp4rks]

My WRX Channel did you get it clear coated or anything? i want to grab on but heard about yellowing issues, at least with the seibon one maybe vis is different

[@Mike604]

My guess the standard fvckboy setup: wide body kit, Apr wing, work wheels, maybe wrap maybe Subispeed headlights

[@andrewt123at]

So does Casey really not use snow tires? In the northwest winter? Crazy

[@STIjojoSTI]

I have the Varis CF hood and these 2 are copies of it right? Especially the one on the left exactly looks like it. The fitment on the Varis thou is spot on no big gaps on the sides. The quality of the carbon fiber is amazing. Do you plan on installing hood pins? Or is it safe to run it as is? Was the screen on the vents already installed when you got it? Mine came with screen for the vents for the sides only and you have to cut it to fit. Didnt install it, looks nice too without it.

[@jtcintl4373]

So the instructions on the carbon fiber hoods is to not use gas struts and must use hood pins...have you guys had any issues with the gas struts and no hood pins?

[@geralde3355]

I have a Siebon wing and it started to brown after a year of use.

[@darkmkv]

I had the seibons but sold it , started to fade after a month. Yes you have to clear coat it but it shouldn't fade so fast

[@berengerchristy6256]

bruh if you don't protect the carbon from UV radiation it's going to fade. that's entirely your fault

[@yiconceptracing6259]

VIs hood 98% looks like varis lol

[@tony21227]

Are the side vents not functional then if their covered up?

[@Black16STI]

With the rain guards, does the heat even get to escape from the vents?

[@reynerperez5510]

At least you have the option to have it on or off.. also the VIS has those exit vents on the waterfall part of the hood anyway... 🤷‍♂️

[@matthewmaldonado3213]

Whats the weight difference

[@ardikasulistija6574]

How different is the thread?

[@sindybaby6414]

is the driver side louver or vent directly over the battery?

[@davidalwis5033]

Where did you get the VIS hood? Could you please drop a link.

[@rjv9352]

Did you guys run the TMiC splitter/duct? Any problem with overheating without it? I got a Seibon and it’s just too much work to transfer over the OEM splitter/duct/shroud thing. It’s like a super good luck project.

[@jeremyhipp367]

Does the VIS hood fit the 2019+ models?

[@krowncarnival]

Which car has the siebon hood? Dark blue or light blue?

[@snakes5506]

Can someone tell me ? Y have a seibon hood, but seibon does not make a carbon fiver trunk with ducktail for my year, if i buy the VIS trunk ? Will it mach the pater en color of my seibon hood ?

[@87vang]

Are the colors the same ??

[@radioactiverice8]

love the soundtracks in all the vids. I tried looking at the underside of the hood, but couldn't see. are the side vents nonfunctional? or were there other holes away from the vent covers for the heat to escape from that I couldn't see

[@CarsWithJR]

The vents are functional. The rain guards were installed in the video and are removable.

[@TheMustang0189]

Nice review guys! I like the VIS myself

[@SpencerHogg]

I'm so happy you guys got some snow hahaha!! F*cking awesome bro!!! RIP little SNOWMAN LMFAO

[@GEEXX_GX]

Link to the carbon fiber hood

[@victorzheng8574]

Where did you get yours? I am in WA as well. Is there any local shop selling VIS Racing hoods?

[@Thevolcanicllamas]

I heard the Seibon is actually heavier than the stock hood, can anyone confirm this? And is VIS the same way?

[@nicaaaaaaaaa2668]

Not true

[@Multi68stang]

So on the VIS hood does the covers that catch water allow enough air flow through? Just curious as it looks like they are really restrictive.

[@CarsWithJR]

The covers are removable.

[@Flatfourdetailing]

How much does the Vis racing hood weight?

[@CarsWithJR]

About the same as the stock hood. Maybe a tad less.

[@JDG.7R]

definitely not worth it then

[@Flatfourdetailing]

From their official website. Most of their CF hoods weigh around 15 pounds but of course, if you have a bigger car it'll weight a little more.

[@jayg751]

Is it really an issue on the seibon hood when it rains?

[@aaronj.stroupjr5469]

no, i’ve ran one for probably a year and have had no issue

[@gubbilo1]

What fuel upgrades are needed to run the aftermarket cold air intake with Cobb downpipe and invidia r400 exhaust on my 17 sti

[@nickslosubi690]

Never hurts to have a pump and injectors. Also get a Fuel pressure Regulator installed like the aeromotive unit (fuel injection model). It can be tuned without fuel upgrades but your power gain will be small because you need more fuel for the more air your turbo will push in. Also get a grimspeed 3port EBCS to help controll boost or even an external wastegate setup is best (I have one 38mm is great!)

[@LastHumansGarage]

thats a sweet vis hood.

[@brianlau8316]

VIS CARBON FIBER HOOD is what ill be getting ?👍👍👍. it'll look great on my Hyper blue .

[@codythrasher3930]

Do you know if the verus block off plate fits the vis hood scoop?

[@xXHoruga05Xx]

I emailed Verus and they said it’s a no go for fitment

[@codythrasher3930]

@@xXHoruga05Xx yeah I ended up selling my CF good and going back to oem

[@nemos1218]

Ok so does water get in through those vents? I want to buy 1 but I keep wondering how it does in the rain

[@CarsWithJR]

See 7:56.

[@nemos1218]

@@CarsWithJR do u know if the Seibon comes with the rain guards as well? Looks great.

[@CarsWithJR]

nemoz_wrx it does not. Reason why I went with the VIS hood.

[@nemos1218]

@@CarsWithJR I love the VIS 1 has a bigger scoop. Looks really nice. The rain guards on it to were perfect. Really liked the video

[@bambambino23]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ima get that hood

[@andrewthomson9854]

wow, went to the VIS website and that hood is pricey man. Good for you. I'm surprised they can sell them for $1850. I like it alot though. Daum!!!

[@CarsWithJR]

Look around. You can get them for WAYYYY cheaper.

[@FronkG]

VIS priced their products on their website higher on purpose lol

[@Arachnikadia]

I found it for 1276 and Im still searching. Im sure I can find it even cheaper than that! @@FronkG

The Seibon guy is gonna blow up the engine eventually if he has TMIC and not have the internal stock Intercoolet Vent installed
