There is some damage, but it was still in the original bubble wrap... the seller was saying it was her son's and he never put it on.... Apparently it is the only one that was shipped to Canada, and is now in my possession...:yahoo: :coolio: :p

Dont paint it, leave it C.F.

he is gonna have to paint part of it, with the damage the way it is.......

how much did you pay?

and BTW the corners could have gotten messed up like that from a really sloppy test fit.......

why couldnt i stumble upon one here

you'd be too cheap to pay what it's worth anyways, shit you couldn't even come up with $25 for my shifter console....

Thats probably one of the ones that was damaged in shipping. Hence why he never put it on, because they probably sent him another one. Thats what happened to me.

The main issue with the group buy on hoods is shipping. It's difficult to ship a carbon fiber hood without it being damaged.

jabartram

07-23-2009, 08:43 PM

my first fiberglass hood was beat to death, second had a few dings which got paid for by the shipping company insurance.

Glad you like it. Man do I miss that thing.

Blueolds

07-23-2009, 10:08 PM

I like the cowl but i dont like the carbon fiber look, could you paint it to look like the stock hood?

heineck

07-23-2009, 10:09 PM

y not just get ED cowl hood then?

tw0123

and BTW the corners could have gotten messed up like that from a really sloppy test fit...

That's what I figured paint wise... I know the corners have to be fixed, so I figured I would get it painted at the same time, seeing as finding the exact match for the fiberglass/carbon fiber would be almost impossible without huge expenses...

As for the price... would you believe I only paid $200? I hate to admit it, but this is why I backed out of buying your foglights (this time... SORRY!!)

With the corners, I thought of that, however the seller told me that it was shipping damage, as it was still wrapped in the original bubble wrap... the kid who bought it never put it anywhere near his car!!! He bought a Subaru and gave up on the Alero, then moved to the East Coast...

Right now I am contemplating stealing alerored 04's idea of painting the majority stock colour, while leaving the raised sides of the cowl the carbon fiber... If anyone else has any ideas, please post them up... I am all for suggestions!!!;)

Th0r

07-24-2009, 09:14 AM

I'd paint it, but I'd also be interested to see what leaving the cowl CF would look like.

alerored04

07-24-2009, 04:51 PM

How about that?

alerored04

07-24-2009, 04:51 PM

And that.

I really need to find time to take better pics.

I'm online more than you think. :)

tw0123

07-25-2009, 11:22 AM

^^ That is the scheme I was thinking of doing... seeing as the corners will already have to be painted once they are repaired, this way would allow to show off the cowl more as well as leave the hint of CF of the whole hood, not just the stick on crap people are buying now...

and btw, get more pics taken of that hood lol... definitely need more reference pics lol...

alerored04

07-25-2009, 11:41 AM

Will get some more later this week hopefully.

Gently lay the CF hood overtop your old hood on your car. You'll get a great idea of what it would look like.

Well first if you drive there before or after ASS or say he brings the hoods what are you planning on doing with your stock one just leaving it somewhere?
I'm not sure if this is everybody's case but regardless of the hood being made, and it being close to ASS I'm still not going to ASS or pick up the hood.
It's just too much money for gas and other expenses.

Yeah the stock hood is the only thing im iffy about...i wonder if i left my back seat at home and took out the plastic rear interior pieces if id be able to fit it in the trunk...have to do sum measuring

Fenderxcore

12-07-2009, 11:33 PM

Yeah I know...The only reason he won't ship is cuz a lot of them got damaged in shipping the last time he made them

wrestlingandrunning

12-08-2009, 01:14 AM

But other companies ship there fiberglass or cf hoods someone should call and ask how they ship there products without damage

kwhauck

12-08-2009, 11:43 AM

because they freight them and don't try ups or any other of the shitty non freight companies.......and it's very simple, you drive there with no hood.......i've done it before it's not that big of a deal........
