Varis Cooling Hood

Oooh man those are all the same questions I keep asking myself in theory if I decide to ever pull the trigger and get the wet carbon one. Can't image how I would be if I did purchase. Think myself I would get it painted minus the vents but that would lead to the next question...... where would I take it and trust someone to do it the right way and match the paint well (in my case CBP)

Yeah the trouble finding a competent shop is why I'm considering leaving it bare with just PPF or even just vinyl wrapping it.

I think I'll run it bare CF for a while until the Arising-II kit is announced. I want to have the full kit before I make any decisions. Maybe I'll end up vinyl wrapping the entire car.

probably not going to be a big deal to wait then. i mean it's only a few weeks away since the arising-II kit is gonna debut at sema.

You think Sema? It's so close and the Instagram post looked like they just started the prototype. It'd be nice if it's at sema but I thought maybe Tokyo auto salon. Can't wait to see how it looks.

i'd assume so.

if it was tokyo auto salon, damn. that's still a few months away lol.

Please post plenty of pics. Excited to see how the wet carbon looks!

Tokyo Auto Salon makes more sense to me. A Japanese company debuting products at a big show in Japan

So scared to move it and damage it so I won't have any more photos until the test fit and final fitment.

Can't wait for my last 2 TE37's to get here next week.

Yellow Spoon valve cover will be installed next week also. Pics to come!

looks great. If I knew it was a month wait time i would've ordered it. With my luck with recent parts like my voltex diffuser and evs lip, it probably gonna take me a year to receive it.

I though the open section over the turbo inlet pipe had a screen on it? Is that an option to not include it or were you just not running it? Could you also post some pics of how the rain tray fits in and looks? Love this hood!

So much for GruppeM supposedly not working with the Varis hood

Hahaha MAN I almost shit my pants... Allllllll week I've been making a checklist in my head for the install. Told myself "lay a towel on the intake in case it rubs". But I was so caught up on installing it that as soon as I bolted the latch I just closed it lol. Luckily it fits exactly like stock.

I haven't installed the grill yet. Debating if I want to spray it black first. Also you have to cut the grill sheet to size and hold in place with the tabs.


I installed the screen just now since it's 25% chance of rain this weekend. Took 2 minutes to install. It's crazy how perfect everything fit.

I think I got super lucky with this hood and they happened to be making one the same time I ordered it.
