CarbonFiberOne hood?

[WormGod]

Sweet. John sent me an email while I was out of town and said it went pretty well. I had the uneven spacing on the sides as well. Hopefully get these little flaws ironed out. I think it is a very nice addition to the VX and hope to have one someday.

Absolutely, hood pins are a must. Even with the hinges and latch, pins should be used. I simply do mot trust F/G resin under high speeds. With the angle of the hood and the contours, it is very difficult to get the pins to align properly so a fully removable hood with 4 pins might be about the only way to go. Tough to say without being able to try a few ways.

I just wanted to let you all know I haven't forgotten about you. I have had a few problems (back injury), and other work related stuff that sent me out of town for a couple weeks at a time here and there. So I just have not done anything litterally, until the night before last when I played with the alignment some more before taking it to the dealer yesterday morning . I should get her back tomorrow and will take some pics of the hood as it is adjusted currently (no insert still, have not found a cheap one yet).

Additionally, CFone has not called or E-mailed me at all since I went down there for the test fitting. They stated they wanted me to bring the car back when they had another one made to test and would call me when they were ready, but, I never heard back from them. I will try calling them on Monday and see what they are up to.

I know that the carbon fiber hoods that are available for my car (Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4) are pretty disappointing. I've seen several at car shows and they need so much work to get a "completed look". For what they charge they should be in a much finished condition. I'd be interested in seeing how this company makes their's and function for the VX.

Hey Guys!

All correspondence seems to have ended 07/08 and I am hoping someone could give me the latest on these beautiful modifications. Are they fitting etc. etc. Are you all recommending them at this point?

Hiya, I have had no luck contacting Carbon Fiber One at all, I have sent Numerous E-mails, and never got a reply. Now, when I e-mail they just get bounced back. Additionally I have left phone messages with them regarding a second test fit they asked me to bring my VX in for and never got a response. So, I just completely stopped trying.

I do have pics I need to post of how it fits on my VX, and I have been slackin' about that severly due to personal reasons. I know that is no excuse and I promised to post them before. I hopefully will get the chance to post them on Saturday. I sincerely appologize for not posting them earlier just one thing after another in problems for me both medical, family, and other work problems.

I have 3 extras sitting in my room, willing to part with 2 of them for $140+shipping each (shipping from AK is pretty expensive expect $100+). They are slightly flawed, but you would be the only one to notice, and I am not sure on the fit. The one I did install that looked real good, I had to drill the mounting holes larger to make it fit, and I should really get back into it and drill a couple more mounting holes larger. Mine I made functional, cut a hole in the hood and it keeps the SCer intake nice and cool, after a couple hundred mile trip I can walk out of my car and press and hold my hand on it now.

Are you guys talking about CF HOODS or HOOD INSERTS? Sorry I need to be brought up to speed. The CF hood inserts are shown on the CFOne site. Are the inserts or the full hood what people are having difficulties with?
