Default Thank You Roger!!

Just wanted to let you guy's know that we talked with Roger (at us exotics) today, And even though he is going in a new direction, he absolutely wants to keep his designs available to you guys, and has offered those designs to us so that we may continue to produce them, he also explained some of his techniques he used to produce the hoods, so that we can do our best to provide the same quality product. We can let everyone know availability in a couple weeks.

This is a great opportunity for us and I'd like to give a Big thanks To Roger,
it was out of his concern for the F-body guy's that he decided to find another
source through which these items can still be made available to everyone.
Thank you from everyone at VFN

Amazing news, thanks for helping us out with this. I'm in for a WS9 style hood when you get everything going. I take it you will be doing the same hand laid technique that Roger used?

I'm very relieved to hear that Roger's original designs will not become history. The compliments and confusion that my WS9 hood generates are proof of how creative Roger is. "nice Firehawk...er...WS6...er...what the hell is that?".

To VFN: take good care and build these hoods well. I'm sure that's what Roger would want.

Not sure if we will be doing the superhawk hood, I believe at this time we will offer the ws9 style. We hope that everyone will be happy with the quality of our hoods - as they were with Roger's. We always do our best on our products to make them fit and look as nicely as possible. I am unsure at this time in regards to time frame and cost of these items, but once I am definate on this info, I will definately pass this onto everyone here.

I'm sure VFN will provide a quality product. With the interest in the WS9, and other designs by Roger, they should have quite a few orders once they begin production. They seem to be on the ball offering very affordable price products, even cheaper than some other manufactors for the same item. Check the Sponsor feedback area to see how well they have taken care of their customers. I'll be in line to get one of these hoods within a few months, at the most, of their introduction.
