Default Ordered VFN Sunoco Hood

Ordered a VFN Sunoco Hood August 9TH. They said 6 -8 week delivery time. Has anyone had any recent experience with VFN and should I expect it to take the full 8 weeks. Thanks in advance for any responses!

Just got my hood today. Didn't take that long, can't remember how long it took exactly. Anyone know if it is ok to drive around with the unfinished hood for a little while until I can get it painted?

Thats the best thing you can do for that hood it will season it up and let it settle and shrink.drive around with it on the car for about a month then block sand with 150 grit and prime the hood and drive around with it on the car for about another month then you can sand and paint.

I recieved my hood 4 weeks ago after waiting 7 weeks. VFN does recommend you run run it unpainted for a while to let it "cure". I live in the south, memphis, so im not going to wait much longer to get it painted. That **** should be plenty cured after the last 2 weeks we've had!

Go to their link on the right side of LS1TECH home page look for "VFN". You'll have to order by phone.

Just received mine, can it get wet while its not painted ? because its on my car and it needs washing, anyway, they recomend not to paint it until a couple of weeks, also when its ready for paint does it need to be block sanded ?
