VFN fiberglass... opinions?
my friend is looking to buy some fiberglass components and VFNs prices seem pretty fair. Personally ive never dealt with them so i dont know their fit and finish first hand. i am pretty sure at least a few people have their products so i'm looking to get some opinions for him and see if they are worth it. It would all be pin on/lift off parts. Thanks

I do not own anything that they have made but I have seen a bunch of their products and they all look pretty good. Better than Harwood and all the "common" companies.

sunoco with no line. i can pick the thing up myself, and the quality is phenomenal. i'd definitely recommend them bearing it doesn't fit like garbage when i put it on. customer service is pretty darn good and they are holding a GP soon. shipping took ~5 weeks from the time i ordered it.

the order ended up not going to VFN, but to Glasstek instead. It just happened VFN didnt offer one version of the hood that glasstek did. The product recieved was awesome and will be going for paint in the next few weeks.
a pin on hatch was going to be ordered, but a custom modified stock one is in the works instead due to some appearence reasons.
