cant go wrong there although i like the toms lip on the 4 front end too
I hate how EVERYONE say get the gt4, IMO the ssIII looks soooo much sexier. Go with sum splitters an a OEM CF hood( you can get them from VIS' site or from ebay.

P.S. I luv your cars colour.
haha i know. ssiii would look sick with carbon. i have a vis. it is just really beat. just looking for the best deal.

As long as the fibers are fine you can just have it repaired.
i know... the hood is cracked into the fiber.

I'm in the market for a carbon fiber Hood also

I found advancespeedshop has free shipping within the lower 48
I emailed them no reply

Also octane motersports has 30$ shipping to the lower 48
Emailing them tomorrow

And upscale auto 100+$ shipping
Fast email reply
Good Rep also

So I Guess for more money you get more service
Anything that has free shipping on an object that large is questionable.
Yeah i know
The guy from upscale
Told me seibon charges them 30$ to sell their items
So if you're buying a good gtfour hood there should be atleast a 30$ charge

AGREED. SSIII with a Tom's lip, TRD skirts, and SSIII splitters... omg. That's what I plan for mine

eh people have different tastes. i LOVE both the gt-four and ssiii look.
Oh I agree, I just dont like how some people think of the gt-four as a deity.

I like the style of the GT-Four, I used to be in love with it. But now I think the SSIII looks more sleek and the GT-Four looks like a rally monster to me. I agree with garin though. I'd love an SSIV with AWD
