So I found this the other day and thought I'd run the idea by all of you.
Im thinking this hood

painted like this (sort of)

Instead of the white it would be red, and the orange would be pearl white. The flat black will be exposed carbon fibre.

And this was my inspiration for the interior

Same as with the hood white=red orange=white

I voted no. VIS is a low end company from everything I have ever read. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I know that a friend of mine had purchased a hood from them...and it shattered while he was driving his Civic. They sent him another, and had a similar issue, but this time cracked his windshield. And my buddy isn't some mo-ron..he works at a body shop.

If you're gonna go for a hood like that, why not make the scoops functional?
The plastic hood inserts kill it in my opinion.

well, if I can get ahold of a R/T hood without having to order it from mopar I'll go for it. I just like the carbon look. I had a VIS hood on my eclipse and never had problems.

I like the hood idea, but the interior seems like it would be a little loud.

I say go for it man!
The hood looks good, and I like the paint scheme inside and out! I plan on painting the inside of my interior as well! If you get the hood and it's crap, just send it back, and get a refund.

I say go for it man but I wouldn't leave any carbon fiber visible on the hood. Paint the part red like you said then paint the carbon fiber part black. My brother had a vis hood on his old IS and it never cracked or anything.

I like them both. They really are quite different than anything else you see out there as far as color. My question is that you have a red truck? How would this go with the color scheme?

I like the interior, not so much the hood though.

I really like the center consol in the new rams, I would love to upgrade mine to something like that.... No D or D2 just the +/-...so nice

Your truck with a painted grill and bumper, R/T hood with the top part in matte black.

Basically anything in the in the pics that is white will be dark red, and anything that is orange will be pearl white.
