who has the c.f./f.g.hoods new or used

[don]

looking to buy a c.f/fiberglass hood

[NoSweat83]

Have fun with that. As far as I know no one is making them any more. A few of us got together and did a group buy so, the only way I know of that you can get one is finding someone is willing to sell theirs. Gool luck.

[pimpalero2003]

and ull pay out the ass cuz we all want 1

[_01Alero_]

Yea, it sucks that more were not made. They look awesome on our cars.

*sad that i wont be able to get one* lol...

[Oldsman]

more would have been made had the group buy went well and people backed out.

[TheMeaningOfLife]

Now dont shoot me for saying this. But a cowl can be THAT hard to make on your own, especally if your going to pay what it sounds like you will for a pre-made one.

[jackal2000]

isnt kyle still trying to sell his?

[rowdygls]

nope..sold

Not shooting you down but, there are some things that need to be considered doing it yourself. Steel and fiberglass (in most cases) dont mold together perfectly for ever. With the stock hood being steel it is not an ideal case. Can it be done, yes. The quality (over time) is the question at that point. So unless you can make a mold I would not do it. Again I a person who wants my car to be perfect and you have to consider that.

no it isn't. you buy a cheap glass cowl and put it on your stock hood and have a wanta be fiberglass cowl hood.

but these hood are a glass hood and all one piece.

[jabartram]

and well made!

[NoSweat83]

Very true. I dont remember a single complaint except for the shipping.

[jabartram]

yeah the first hood i got was fubar! i still dont know what happened to it?

[NoSweat83]

I'll join the club.

[jturkey69]

me too..lol

[whiteliquid]

Well i didnt own my alero when these were made so i couldnt join the group buy...along with many many more members on site.


Wonder if someone would make a 2nd round.:scpimp:

Or maybe even a different style hood.

2nd round sounds good. I'd be in for sure. Different style sounds good, too. I doubt this will happen though.

[whiteliquid]

crazy taxi made them right...where is he at??

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

I probably shouldn't post in here...my hood had a bad luck history. :P

[don]

if know one is going to make any more who has the molds and would they be willing to part with them?

[jturkey69]

crazytaxi37 is the man you would want to talk to, I don't know how much molds would go for, but I know he spent a boatload of money, and I don't think he recovered all of his costs?

[adam337]

id buy one

[cavaliers60]

I'd buy one too.

[Oldsman]

the company that made the hoods has the mold but crazytaxi owns them. far as i know he is not going to part with them.

[SweetNLow]

best purchase i ever made for my car

[_01Alero_]

I would buy one too if they were being sold again. But who knows. Maybe one day. Too bad I hadn't purchased my car awhile back lol...

[2fst4u]

what was the price you guys paid for yours originally?
i wonder if there's enough interest if he'd attempt it again...

[mustang_killer]

Well I would pay pretty hefty price. I would love to throw that on my turbo setup.

[kwhauck]

i thought i liked them until i mounted it, doesn't look good on a stock body alero......

[jturkey69]

650.00, but I picked my hood up at the shop,

[Crazytaxi37]

I will start a exploritory thread in a few days. If there is enough interest WITH MONEY. Only serious people should respond at that time. I will then make a decision on whether or not to do this.

That would be bad ass because i would fur sure pic one up if you started it up again!!!

[whiteliquid]

whats the amount going to be for one of them. If it was reasonable then you have my money for sure.

Also would you consider a different style.

[MixtapeMessiah]

Im seriously down on this one I want that hood or maybe even a different style also. Im game count me in.

[NoSweat83]

Not to bring you guys down on a different style but, crazy has the mold for a the cowl hood and being as they are not cheap it is very unlikely to get another style. What other style are you thinking of?

[pawzbear]

well different style = different molds = much more $$$$$ involved all while 80% of the original supporters back out. sooo i wouldnt bet on that happening.

[whiteliquid]

original is fine by me too.

I just want one lol.

[NoSweat83]

Preach on. Ben there and seen that.

Count me in on the cowl then

[adam337]

im down for sure. 650 + shipping sounds about 900? and just wondering on the old hood thread it says they came in Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber, and Sim Carbon Fiber. Wtf is Sim Carbon Fiber?

[MixtapeMessiah]

simulation carbon, its like a bootleg cf, i just stick to the fiberglass one

[Crazytaxi37]

If this is going to happen it will only be in fiberglass. Sorry for all you c/f lovers out there.

[Mischief007]

If this is going to happen it will only be in fiberglass. Sorry for all you c/f lovers out there.

If you decide, I will get one as mine is rusting and I can't find any Aleros in junkyards.

Do you live anywhere near the Ontario borders by any chance?

[sofa]

Heres the old page that any new ppl would wanna see...this may not be the price or anything else this is the page from 2 years ago

[clutch1]

Hmm, I'm hopin to see some more f/g cowl hoods on Aleros sometime soon if this goes through! I always loved seein them, makes me wish I still had mine.

[Gr1m]

i was saving for headers but i will pick up one of those hoods off ya ina heartbeat

nooooooo :(

[Satsuriku]

reasonable enough, but for us canadians, shipping would cost more then the hood itself, if it wasent for that fact, i would get one in a heart beat!! but oh well, i hope this is able to work for you guys!

[whiteliquid]

YEa i REALLY REALLY want one.

[MixtapeMessiah]

f/g is hella good with me, just waitin on the work from crazytaxi

[strtrydr]

I would definitely be one for this ... sucks that I have to convert to the stupid prop rod though :(

[Crazytaxi37]

oldsman has all the information as for part numbers for the switch to a prop rod. Canada people I suggest making a vacation out of it and going for a drive. I really suggest that for anyone.

[strtrydr]

Where is the shop at? (just throwing that out there so if people are going to plan on trying to pick theirs up)

And is it possible to have support brackets made for the hood struts? I really hate those prop rods.

you could have the stock bracket removed and molded on to the hood but then you better get loose struts and just hope you don't start cracking like NoSweat from the stress. Which now he is kicking himself for not listening to me about deal with the prop rod.

[adam337]

the only different style that i think would look even ok would be the cowl with added boser front but im fine with just a normal cowl :D

[whiteliquid]

Well someone (naich i think) designed a hood a while back and it was hot.

[jturkey69]

the shop is just northwest of green bay,wi. the hoods can also be 'glassed in black or white gelcoat. the black almost matched my car perfect, and i ended up rolling that way for almost a year, and even went to ASS that way

the nostril one, i didn't like that one at all; an SS inspired hood would look really cool:

Thats pretty sweet you can get it white! I know its not going to be the same white as man car but at least I can put it on there and not have it look to off atleast intill I can get the money to have it painted. So if you do end up making these again Crazy put me down for one fur sure!!!!

[whiteliquid]

thats not the one i meant sorry.

The one i meant was on a yellow razzi kitted alero i think.

It had a big dip in it.

[[ion] C2]

Yeah

look a lot better than

[Mischief007]

That's too far to drive for me, especially with the truck to pick up the hood. How much would the shipping be to Canada?

I cant kick my self thats what you are for. The stress line are not horrible but, I'll say use a rod. Just be careful what Oldsman gives you.:lol:

[strtrydr]

hey ... i didnt ask what you two did together ... :lol:

hmm, guess i will just put up with the stupid prop rod then.

[MixtapeMessiah]

that ss style hood looks good too, but whos makin what what?? What happened to the old mold we had for the cowl?
