| Review: |
Well after 6 months i got my body. I phoned Roger about every month, maybe 2x. Me and him usually go into discussion about the process and why it took so long.
The reason why the bodies took a long time to be made was because of quality issues. There were clear lips, silicon molds were deterriorating, the cold weather abstructed the curing of the resin etc. But IMO, for time to be had to make these bodies, it's a damn worth wait.
When i recieved my body i was giddy, after 6 months i could hardly wait to see how it tooked. It looked fabulous in a plain 1x1 twill weave. Though i was really expecting a 2x2 twill weave, this was just as good.
The installation was a breeze, took apart my ion and slid in my firing can and breech. It fit like a glove, it's hard to find bodies be it plastic or metal to fit snug like this.
when i put my ion together it was amazing, my ION was now carbon fiber highlighted and rid of the silver dull plastic body.
The rear of the body was well made too, i was expecting some odd cuts or a plug but was also layed carbon fiber with a cougar-river logo.
Roger Fattig is in the process of making BOB style bodies so keep checking his website! |
|
| Conclusion: |
The work is amazing, i wouldn't get my carbon fiber body from anyone else. Roger is up to speed witht he new molds as the previous ones deterriorated which cause hte long process of molding the bodies before. Roger has lost alot of money from making these throwing away alot of bodies due to cloudy resin, slow curating, uncontrolled environments, but he is back up to speed with bodies ready to ship! |

| Review: |
We ordered this body in june of this year. After many E-mail enquiries, most of which were ignored i have come to the conclusion that this site is a rip off. Can someone tell me if they have ever received one? I have spoken to the owners wife and despite many excuses and reassurances now no one returns my e-mails. Beware Cougar river. After 6 months i really don't think they exist. If they do, shame on them. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't bother, it won't get shipped. |

| Review: |
I contacted the friendly folks at cougar river air sports via email and asked them about a custom digi cam grey camo pattern on half of the body only so as not to completely mask the beautiful nude carbon and to match my grey digi e-vents. In a matter of a week it was finished and shipped. was at my door in less than two weeks and looked amazing. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This body is much lighter that the stock epiphany and no one will know what it is either. |
