No it's not. Similar but not Vfn extended.On the VFN the sides of the scoop stay more vertical all the way to the windshield. I have the Vfn extended on my car, you can see the difference.

I found some old posts it seems to be the hood. But I read he retired? Is this true?

You could try Feather Carbon. I don't know anything other than they make lots of glass and carbon parts

I have the hood from feather carbon on my car. Do yourself a favor and do some research before buying though.

Well I got ahold of Jon through yb. Got pricing and want to order. Only problem is I cannot send the picture posted in beginning thread to him to guarantee its Hus hood. I'm 90 percent sure it is but can anyone confirm it for me. I've attached the only other picture I've found of his hood. It's a terrible angle but I believe both hoods match. Thx.

Definitely tough to tell from the pic.

It looks like it tapers to the front and

the sides aren't so vertical.


If you don't mind me asking. How did you get in touch with him?

When I'm ready I would like to get something similar in carbon.

I think I'm leaning toward carbon myself. What I'm told is he only builds stuff for certain people and the price is the price there is no negotiation and the time line is quite a long time. A guy on yb helped me get ahold of him.
