I'm kinda liking the 442 Boser hood. The 442 non boser seems like it's lacking something and kinda of odd, but with the hood curling around the headlights it sets it off more. The only thing is that I don't think i would paint the scoops a different color. Or since it's going to be carbon fiber I would have the scoops painted to match the car and leave the rest carbon fiber.

im tellin, ya, you arent gonna get a boser to fit/look right. our headlights are like big fat bubbles, wont work out unless you get custom lights made too. ive helped make a couple "boser" hoods and i can tell that without custom headlights, it aint just gonna happen on an alero. but hey, more power to ya if ya like to waste time and money on something that will be MAJORLY ugly. if ya could get the headlights custom made cheap(which is impossible), i'd actually probably buy a set and a hood.

i see where your concern is, and i know you have alot of paint/body experience, but i dont see it as big a problem as you do. maybe someone can temp-fab something up. just to get a better idea.

Well it looks like none of these are going to work, the only reasonable hood would be a stock cf hood. I'd be willing to buy a stock one but not for $700. Maybe for 200.

lmao.
supplies alone are more than 200, not counting a mold, etc.
a stock hood would probably cost the same as any hood, with scoop or otherwise.

I'll email him Monday but I'm warning you now that it's going to be expensive. 'Cause the way I look at it you have 3 that would purchase the hood and that's it. If I had them make 10 I'd be flat out lying to them to say that people besides you 3 would be all that interested...

^ thats a different issue, fenders and trunk wont be a problem because they're stock replicates, and theres no discrepancies on which styles etc.

So I guess no one was really interested in CF parts here then. We're getting a new hood made in CF for our GA's and more CF trunklids for $450.
*shrug*
I guess just PM me if anyone changes their mind.

you know my feeling, 450 is a great price if there was more interest.

450 is definately a great price. its too bad everyone interested can't agree on one hood.

it is too damn bad. it is just pathetic nobody can agree on one hood. at least there was one hood made. but until most of you can agree on something there will probably nothing ever made for us. good people. :rolleyes: issed:
so next time anyone wants to bitch about nothing having this made or anything, go look in the mirror and bitch to yourself and then bitch at everyone else on here.
lets see the busted group buys
HID
hood x3
fenders
leather interior
cf or wood interior pieces
can't remember the rest.
