Underhood shot to prove it's VFN.
Scrapes and gouges come free with every purchase.
Attacked with a hacksaw? This was the trailing/windsheild edge of my hood. You can see that it's cut long and poorly.
Perhaps I got a bad one. I'll never know. I had a heated PM exchange with VFN, ProStockJohn got involved, it's a mess. I'm not here to bash them. But you get what you pay for, and VFN's prices are cheap for a reason.

You said you got into a debate about what happened as to why the ram air lettering is on the hood, so why the hell are you bringing the subject back. I know why it's there you know why it's there. For everyone else it's on there for you to apply ram air decals in the OEM spot. You don't want to bash them, but you clearly are. Maybe you should re-evaluate your reply's....

All I'm goin to say, In my 3 different situations, I have had nothing but results from VFN. Fitment was bad ***. Quality and Worksmanship are beyond my expectaions. I am pleased I went with VFN and would not have thought twice about it. +3 for VFN.

My $.02: Because these hoods are hand finished and done one at a time as ordered, alot of variability will come in to play on the finished product. Not to bash, as I plan on using the hood, but I had a Maaco manager tell me that the $300 import hoods that customers send there look better than my hood did. Not my words. This is coming from a shop that paints the cheapest of the cheap, very cheaply. I guess my hood wasn't made on a Wednsday.

I bought a Sunoco hood from them in the spring and the bodyshop screwed things up with me and Armando has been helping me all the way through it. The fitment for mine wasn't great but I think its issues with my car (other body panels, headlights, etc).
The back edge of my hood also isn't the cleanest but I think it could easily be cleaned up to a nice finished edge.
In other words, VFN is great and they have great customer service.
