hey that is my picture. you didn't get writen permission to use that..........LOL.

damn i want that hood

[Silentalero]

im down...

[glsGreg]

depending on price I'm up for it as well

[b-spot]

Now lets watch as this list slowly shrinks to about 2 people over the next few months.

I can't wait to see the drama unfold. :popcorn:

[ptrudel]

the only reason i see ppl backin out is

A. Way too expensive.
OR
B. This never gets done.

we'll see

[justinusaf]

I will get one as soon as they are ready to order.

[Aleromaster]

I'm intrested depending on price

[ShortysTRM]

I'm interested as long as it ISN'T $6-700 lol

[wy3134]

Im a possibility, just need a price before I can make a decision to be in or out.

[BigJon34]

You feel me?

[scArLERO]

sign me up, I need a new hood, would like to know a price range and how long approx. ?

[shortstar]

I would like to sign up for next year like 2000 alero. Slight possiablilty of this year but deff. dont count on it.

[NoSweat83]

I love the hood. Glad that someone got that particular piece of olds history.

[Oldsman]

we should narrow the list down to who is willingand able to pay $400-$600 for the hood.

[Redog]

Is it possible to paint this hood?

[Crazytaxi37]

Yes, you can paint this or any hood. I talked to them today and they are willing to do this project. They are in the middle of a project for Nissan right now and that has to be completed by Labor Day. As soon as that is done(3 weeks) they are gonna get this rolling. I don't have a price yet, that will come. Right now, I have 3 weeks to get the hood up here. I'll PM you TRU.

I'll keep you guys posted. And if you look at prices of hoods out there. $600 actually is a good price. Remember this isn't a mass production part. I beleive it will come in under that but we'll see.

[Voodosoup]

Thanks for the update Greg

[ptrudel]

anywhere under 600 i'm in for next year for sure

[BigJon34]

Put me on the 'mosdef' list especially if it's between 4 and 6. I could do it within 3 mos. if it's 400 and anytime after that if its 6. Just keep us updated so I can start saving.

[Redog]

$600? Paintable?

Likeing this more and more.

Looks like a bit of a cowl hood too, is it? :unsure:

[jturkey69]

im in

it is a 2" cowl induction hood

[Redog]

How long after Labor day?

Shipping cost to 19152 or maybe 19020 (might just have it sent to the body shop)

[Crazytaxi37]

Redog, your way ahead of yourself man. Chill a bit. Remember that this is gonna take some time. First the mold has to be made.

[NoSweat83]

I'm in. I want that hood.

[justinusaf]

Put me down as a definite yes.

More than willing and able.

[AleroGL4]

I'll be a maybe. How would carbon fiber look on black though?

[justinusaf]

In my opinion. ^^^^^^ damn good

[FormulaNERD]

[scArLERO]

that was a estimate for the hood, not a set price, we won't know until after labor day

[tbog 2]

im in. i can have the funds in a couple of months if its no more than 600.how would that look with a white car........

[Pimpalero03]

i take it u didnt see the pics of the hood. lol it was on a white alero. jeez

[Crazytaxi37]

TRU----I need you to check your PM's. Labor Day is fast aproaaching and have not heard back from u.

Thanks
Crazytaxi37

[flalero]

So anything new with this?

[ptrudel]

wait till AFTER labour day weekend...then there should be some news

[Crazytaxi37]

There won't be any news to report if TRU doesn't answer my PM.

[Oldsman]

so TRU is backing out on this?

[FormulaNERD]

maybe he doesnt care? i still hate reed for this.

[Oldsman]

like you would have had a copy made of the hood.

[Oldsman]

but reed did screw us on this.

[FormulaNERD]

poop i'd put more of an effort up, and wouldnt just disappear.

[sound_xtreme]

i wouldnt offer to have copies made if i had bought it. i don't blame him.

[FormulaNERD]

yea, well to offer and disappear is alot worse than deciding not to offer.

i'd prob do like silent w/ the osv, and just invest in a few people that really want it, and then that's it.

[Voodosoup]

I invested.........I lost $1500.....no money. no kit.....not poop.......

I'll believe the OSV kit when I see it........

[nguyen187]

you know the messed up part bout all this is that TRU had beaten me by bout 3 hours to get the hood! then this weekend i was up i Grand Rapids and walked outside and guess what i c??? yeah TRU's car how does that happen? small world! anywho, talked to him, really really nice guy, likes the board and wants to help, but its just that some people on here are dicks bout it, you can't blame Reed either cause technically he wasn't even suppose to sell the hood (he also had the 442 hood w/ mold)!

as for TRU, Soundexteme is right, i wouldn't either, you can be jealous just don't hate, TRU drove 2+ hours just to get the hood, and from what i got outta talking to him, he pretty much wouldn't get anything outta doing this whole copying the hood thing, besides being nice! Truth be told were lucky he's even considering letting us copy the hood!

Crazy - when i talked to him he told me he's been busy with school and all and some other S#it. He'll respond, can't say when but i'm pretty sure of it.

[smokinAMD]

Here's a nice thought, how about everyone stop talking trash? Because some of us, including myself, would actually like to get a CF hood.

[sound_xtreme]

i wasn't talking trash. I myself would like one, but, i'm just telling it how it is.

[Oldsman]

hey tony don't believe everything that Reed has said. because i spoke with the Special Vehicle manager, the guy who designed and did all the cars, and GM had no problem with him selling the hood because RK Sport did the hood so it was aftermarket and he can seel all aftermarket stuff. The 442 hood was not able to be sold because it was not done by an aftermarket company. I found out a lot of poop about what was going down.

I think it is great what TRU is going to let us do.

Here is my take, I am not one to see what is in it for me but what is in it for the Alero community. Some of the problems is always what is in it for me. We need to be more of family and do stuff more for the community than for me. If i had gotten the hood i would have gotten it to greg right away. but that is just how i am. more for everyone than me.

[Pimpalero03]

i am touched after reading that.

hmmm .. i think I understood that... ^^^

Cant wait for more updates.

[|Rev|]

anything anybody?

[Redog]

400 to 600 isn't bad, my hood is all chipped up too, might have to get it

[Crazytaxi37]

OK guys,

I had a good meeting with my manufacturer and all things are go at this point. I have another meeting with him soon because we have to fabricate the hood first. Start saving those bones guys and girls. This is gonna take off very shortly. If this goes well we will be seeing a lot of parts come of this. This is a test of sorts.

Please PM me if you are truely interested. I will have a price very shorly and you will have a new c/f cali hood soon. Hope this is good news for every one.

Things to come

fenders
trunk lid
interior trim
engine trim

All of these projects start here. I need a good sold count here.

[bdyman]

greg you can put me down for a hood too

[Redog]

OK it's paintable and possiblly not to expensive

It depends on price now, other than that, I'm a go B)

[Oldsman]

you know i am in for sure.


for those of you who want to know if you can paint C/F................

let me ask you this. Is the following cars painted......
NASCAR
IRL
CART
F1
Funny Cars
Top Fuel
Pro Stock

The answer is YES. why do I ask ya this? Because they are all C/F bodies. So that should answer your question if you can paint C/F.

[justinusaf]

PM Sent... thanks for keeping on this project....

[wy3134]

I would truely be interested in the hood, trunk lid, and fenders, but before I can fully commit, i need a price range so i can figure out if I can budget it, $400-$600 for a hood is a big price range, thanks for all the work on this.

[quitlahok]

it'll take me a long ass time to save up for it until i get another new job, but i definitely want one..

[Alerosince99]

PM sent.

so have you checked into getting copies made of the OSV C/F interior pieces???????

You could let them use those OSV pieces you got that way they match what the OSV actually looked like.

[flalero]

In case you didn't receive my pm, I'm still in.

[SouthDakotAlero]

I'm definitely in. I have the money ready whenever you need it.

[vulgar]

Im still in.

[Crazytaxi37]

OK guys, This is gonna move a bit more rapidly than I first thought. I hope you are all ready for this. The hood is being fabbed this coming week and you may see hoods shipped before the end of October. The fiberglass vesion of the hood is gonna come in right around 550+shipping. Still waiting on the pricing on CF. I warn you now that it will be more than the Fiberglass version. There will be a option for what will appear to be CF but isn't. The only difference is it won't have the weight properties of CF. I'll have more for you guys shortly. Please post up if this project is moving too fast for ya guys. LOL

[wy3134]

Is there any chance the prices can go down with more people buying them? Also any chance u have pricing on fenders or trunk lids? I know u mentioned thats in the future.

[Crazytaxi37]

The reason that those projects are not being discussed yet is because this project has to fly in order to do anymore projects. So, what I'm say'n is, in good time my friend. As more people get on board there is a possibility for the price to drop but this price is pretty much bottom line as is with the amount of people commited at this time.

[Redog]

Weight of Fiberglass v. stock?

I'd hate to paint a CF hood, but I do want the cowl look, and a little less weight

[jabartram]

the fiberglass version is still a copy of the cowl induction hood, correct? and will it still utilize the factory mounts? I have the money ready!

is there a weight estimate for a shipping estimate? I can get shipping free through my stepdads company!

[justinusaf]

Really wanting carbon fiber... Have the money .. need a price...

[|Rev|]

deffinately gonna take me a little more time to save up the money for the true CF one, but damn, that's not much cheaper than the other ones I've found

Edit: How long will this be available? Because I might not have the money by then

[jabartram]

what is the price diff between CF and FIBER?

[Redog]

Getting FG :D B)

Gonna look sweet :smokin:

[Crazytaxi37]

I will have the CF price for everyone shortly.

Â;-) the fiberglass version is still a copy of the cowl induction hood, correct? and will it still utilize the factory mounts? I have the money ready!


Each of these hoods is the cowl induction hood. I'm not wasting my time with a stock looking hood. And yes, stock bolt up.

but damn, that's not much cheaper than the other ones I've found


I'd like to see one other hood for the alero that you've found. Sorry if the price seems high to you, but all GA hoods are $699-1200.


How long will this be available? Because I might not have the money by then

These hoods will be available till I don't feel like doing it anymore. So, like forever. LOL

Everyone remember, these are prebuy prices. I can not guarantee these prices once the prebuy is done. Please keep this in mind.

ok olds, i'll tell you like i told you before... they are just WTP, not real cf.

but i think i may be selling them, i'll keep you updated. (oh and brent has dibs, but if he cant come up with the cash, they'll be up for grabs.)

[Crazytaxi37]

Wait for my real ones. LOL ;)

this i what i f***ing hate, everybody is like i'm in, but then they back out cuz it is too expensive, of course carbon fiber is expensive, especially since they are producing in low numbers, i had a company say any style hood in cf for our car for $275 a piece but needed 50 buyers, no way that was gonna happen, keep chuggin crazy and keep us updated :thumbsup:

[NoSweat83]

Im still in and Fiberglass will do the trick.

[|Rev|]

is fiberglass significantly lighter than the stock hood?

[Redog]

I'd say "slighty"

for significantly lighter you gotta go CF

[Crazytaxi37]

Please refer to the thread in the News&Announcements Forum for further information. Thankyou. ;)
