CarbonFiberOne hood?

[AndyC]

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?

[AlaskaVX]

I am talking inserts however CF1 was going to do an entire hood but I don't know what became of that.

EDIT: ^I see now they were talking about the whole hood

[LeDonovan]

Thanks AlaskaVX. When you say you have a few spares, do you mean the inserts - stock, or with Carbon Fiber?

P.S. I heard on the entire hood that they could never get the fit right.
