Um, no offense to anyone using VIS products, but I wouldn't install them on my Snapper.

Fiber Images? Yes. Seibon? Yes.

I'm sure there's other good ones, but trying to get a VIS panel to align where there's not a 1mm gap on one side and a hammer handle gap on the other?

Maybe they are better now, but back in the 90's....

Carbon fiber / fiberglass body parts in general all need some finessing. You need to find a experienced body man who knows how to work with fiberglass.

True, even the best ones have to be fitted, from fender shims to elongating the mounting holes on the hinges & even cutting & rewelding the hood striker *and* adjusting the latch.

But, even with a awesome body man that at age 30 had been doing it for 20 years, VIS left a LOT to be desired.
