My vfn hood fit perfect with no alterations. But I guess I got lucky, my car is the one pictured on their website. As for my glastek dash, which is supposed to molded after the VFN one, that fits like total DOGSHIT!

I'm familiar with all the aftermarket dashboards.
IMO they're all equal pieces of crap, but serve the purpose they were intended for. They resemble a dash. LOL.

I bought the ws9 outlaw from v.f.n and I think for the money,IT SUCKS. The functional ramair does not line up proper and the fit is not as great as it should be. I now am looking into a super sucker ram air.

Here's my Van O. Its carbon and I love it. It comes oversize in all directions for a custom fit. You make the lines you want. I have a bolt on version and it weighed like 13lbs. Its also functional ram air.

Is it the same design as the pin-on.
I like it being bolt -on.
I like the set-up with the air pan.
Guess I'll have to call him again!

It does.
Zubler ( 1-215-651-7677 ) sells his one piece front end for $2200 in Carbon Fiber.
He uses a Joe Van O hood though.

The front end is from Shawn Zubler. Awesome piece! I want to do something different so I decided to use a mold taken from Matt Harlan's stock Firehawk hood and add a 4in cowl to go for a fresh look. To do what I wanted it meant I would have to make a mold for this new hood so I got with one of my production suppliers and Skinny Kid Racecars to do this. If I can sell 6-8 hoods I would hope to break even and call it a day at that. So I will pull 8 parts off the mold and sell them. This is like a fund raiser not a business, I have a full time job! Lol! So if anybody is interested or knows somebody you can PM me for details. First come first serve!

Thanks all!
