I had that hood on 2 supras, not one problem only time it got messed up it was my fault didnt latch it and it flew up into the window and the underside broke.

CFX makes THE best carbon fiber hoods. go to the vendor's section or contact upgradedsupra (duane), buy one, and never look back!

withholding?

well let start with the quality of that dog shit. When I pay for CF regardless of who makes it it better be made right. When the top layer looks like shit as they didn't pressure bag it or when the layers start coming apart because of not pressure bagging it. then it is a steaming pile of crap.

When there is lackluster frame compared to say CFX, then it is flimsy and at that point aluminum would be more sturdy. CRAP.

Bubbles... CRAP!

Mount points magically falling off, CRAP!

Lol, very good argument. I guess I'll save up some more money for Duanes. I know Duane makes top notch CF items. Which is why his is twice as much. Thanks for the input all.

Mine never had any problems like i said, only time it came apart was when the hood flew up anf hit the windshield because the hood wasnt latched. Even after that the top layer of the hood was perfect not a scratch. Yes i would hae liked to buy one of duanes hoods but i couldnt afford it at the time.

Figgie, you may need to seek counseling or anger management classes concerning this company. It can't be healthy for you, but at least you got it all out. You did get it ALL out didn't you?

Hope this helped you, if not call my secretary and we'll set you up for another session. This time we'll start with your childhood........J.K...Hope you have a sense of humor......lol
