    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?

    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.

    I dont know that they are working with us anymore anyways. They just sorta came and went. I think working on the VX proved to be a bigger challenge than they had expected. *shrug*
