    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?

    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

    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.

    It could very well be that CF1 is DONE with us. We tend to complain a lot, not that it isnt warranted, and that probably got on their last nerve. I cant blame them, and I cant blame us. A match that just wasnt meant to be.

    I did FINALLY get my a-pillars from them about a month ago. Only been a year and 1/2. They couldnt get the C/F ones to work right so I just had them send me some in F/G. They have the dual pods built in and appear to fit quite well. Problem is, there is no backbone so they have to be mounted another way. Probably screwed in. Once I get them refinished and installed, I hope to get pics.

    Hi Alaska...

    I'll take one of the C/F hood inserts....what are the 'slight flaws' ??

    I'll be in Juno in a week or so...maybe ship it to there?

    Let me know if that works for you...and I'd love to see a pic.
